Hi everyone....

I just got an AP-900 mount and I was wondering if there is anything special required to get AA6 to move the mount for plate solving and such. I just installed the Astro-Physics ASCOM driver and I will be testing it today. Does the option for controlling the AP-900 show up in the list of supported mounts after the driver software is installed or are there files needed to be placed in the AA6 folder?

I have AA6 working with my CGE mount and it is a great help when putting targets on the CCD chip.

The commands to move the mount for plate solving are standard GOTOs, equal to the GOTOs used for pointing objects. The other command is the ASCOM "Sync to last object".
Once you have the ASCOM driver for your mount, there is nothing else required.
