Wow Chris, that's a really nice scope!  Never imaged through an APO, but images I've seen are amazing.  Was always focused on aperture until recently.  Nowadays I see scopes as lenses which completely shifts my scope paradigm. 
Bet you're excited to get some shots, or are you mainly planning for visual?

Trace

Hi Trace, yeah got a call out of the blue from my sister in law last month asking if I wanted the scope for free .. tough decision 🤔 lol. They’re daughter was moving back into the house and didn’t want the scope in her bedroom where they kept it to hang socks on, and apparently my brother in law never used it after closing the astronomy shop. So Bought a Losmandy D plate for it and now it mounts on my EQ-6 mount, also bought a Daystar Quark Hydrogen Alpha filter for it to look at the sun. Wasn’t really planning on night imaging with it until I ran into a guy online in S. America doing some really really nice work with one, so yeah I’m gonna give it a shot at night too. If it works out heck maybe I’ll get a little Losmandy G8 Mount for it .. then I would be able to meet you at Dante’s View Death Valley since I could handle it with my hernia, have you been to Dante’s View parking lot? If not google it and go! 😬👍

Lol, I feel for you ;).
Yeah, great idea, nice light mobile rig.
No never, and unfortunately Dante's was closed in May '19 when I was last there.  I'll try to get up there next time.  Is overnight allowed for doing astro?

Trace

It use to be open for astro .. but with the crazy laws these days probably best to contact BLM or NP before going, they may not want to endanger some rare tik bug with Covid or something 🙄 lol

Don't get me started.
Hey, just finished loading the 4Runner with gear and MRE's and heading for the hills.  If weather behaves I head back in the wee hours of Monday before work  👍.

CS I hope
Trace

Ok Trace safe journey (if you read this before you leave), and hope you had a safe journey (if your reading this Monday)

Thanks Chris, had to cut it short...got all setup on the peak and went to home the mount but forgot to disengage the RA and dec travel locks.  The mount complained with groans and beeps, then wouldn't recover.  I removed the worm covers and spun the gears manually to try a crude field recovery, but nogo.
Not sure what's wrong at this point, but looks like I've got another project .

Cheers
Trace

Dang! Sorry to hear about that, so those mounts have some kind of separate locks to keep the RA and DEC from turning when you transport the mount .. and you forgot to loosen those up?

Yeah, for travel you disengage the worm completely and set a pin on each axis to prevent rotation...true hardtop.  I re-engaged the worms but left the pins in.   Doh!!!  I was rushing setting up in the dark.  Didn't go well but hey it was a beautiful 1st day of Spring and I still enjoyed it.

Yeah I just read the MyT manual, so basically you strained the motors, did they stop working all together after you tried to home it with the locks engaged? I guess worse case scenario is replacement motors which should be an easy fix .. just costly. Guess you’ll be on the phone with Software Bisque tomorrow. At least it wasn’t a Death Valley trip, and you enjoyed yourself anyway which is what matters. We had quite a bit of Moon last night anyway. I’m setting up my ED100 refractor tonight so my wife and her friend can look at the moon .. yippie! 🙄 lol. Let me know when you find a fix for your mount.

Well, I've been going through SB forums today to get a clue.  One guy had the same behavior of the beep tones and status LED's, and his turned out to be a bad motor power cable connection because he had been swapping out controllers.  So could be something fried in the power delivery circuit...hope not.  I gave a write up and we'll see what they suggest next.
I would think there'd be a current limit circuit, but the mount was humming for a few seconds before I shut off power, so maybe not.  Kind of weird really since it's not all that uncommon to drive the scope into the pier, you would figure there'd be some protections.  I've done it several times myself on this mount, so again kind of weird. 
Enjoy the moon, should be nice, near 1st qtr.
