The Astro-Physics Command Center - Standard & Pro Versions
The Astro-Physics Command Center (APCC) adds many features and extended functionality to the control system of the
mount and it will act as a serial hub for the use of additional applications. It takes remote operation to the next level with
safety and convenience that you won't want to be without. There are two versions: APCC Standard and APCC Pro.
APCC takes its place as the final arbiter between all of your software and the mount. It is the program to which the mount
directly connects, and everything else connects through APCC. It was designed from the beginning to integrate perfectly
with the AP V2 ASCOM Driver. APCC connects directly via Ethernet or Wi-Fi.
Features of APCC Standard are too many to list, but include the following:
●
Direct Ethernet and / or Wi-Fi connection to the mount from your PC. No Ethernet to serial emulators required!
●
Virtual Serial Ports to connect multiple applications. The first port is optimized for the AP V2 ASCOM Driver.
●
Customizable Meridian Limits that work in conjunction with an improved meridian delay feature.
●
Customizable Horizon Tracking Limits stop tracking or park the mount when horizon is reached.
●
Full support for the Mach2GTO and GTOCP5.
●
Errant Sync / ReCal prevention.
●
Editable and customizable 3-D viewer showing the orientation of the scope and mount for remote users – includes
warning for deviations over 5 degrees between mechanical and celestial coordinates.
●
GoTo – ReCal tab for custom RA/Dec, HA/Dec, and Alt/Az target coordinates with saveable targets for precise return
to that perfectly framed object.
●
Horizons Program for tracking comets, asteroids and satellites.
●
Complete mount control including terminal interface.
