Jamie, Can you describe your optical setup? e.g. C14 Edge HD with rotator/focuser/AOX/FW8G-STXL/STXL-6303 ? Any chance you have an AO-X? There...
If you have a Software Bisque Paramount telescope mount and/or like using Software Bisque's planetarium software called TheSky, here's the easy...
You are correct - multiply main scope focal length by 0.7x I will pass note on about the manual. Yes, Martin is free to test those updates as well...
John, I know you know this, ASCOM does not have a standard for AO support. There is no ASCOM AO. That's why you need to run DL Imaging.
SetupDLAPI.exe would have installed it. Without it, MaxIm would not connect to DL Imaging. I think you have a different issue on the ASCOM side;...
Glad to hear it Josh. There's not a lot we can do for these aging cameras as parts have become unavailable.
What software application were you using? eg MaxIm DL Pro 6.50, TheSky X 10.5.0 13811???
Desiccant plug should have nothing to do with this. That said, it should be recharged probably twice a year, depending on your ambient humidity.
So how come it magically isn't crashing any longer?
No update. We can't reproduce your issue. We've asked you for crash dumps. Are any available?

ACP has a facility to set the Readout Mode. There's a file for defining the readout modes that you want (RoModeInfo.txt), and there are...

Understood. The SC-3 you have has a 4.8um pixel size. The old STX guider was 7.4um. Scale = ( 4.8 / 4200 ) * 206.26 = 0.24 arcseconds per...
You're chasing the seeing. Try bin 3x3 or 4x4 on the guider.
That's interesting. Let me see if I can reproduce that behaviour here.
I think that's a question for @Bob Denny - the camera readout mode selected which gain mode (high,low,hdr,StackPro).
You're going to need to experiment; I can't offer guidance as it is specific to your setup.
I have no way to estimate it - too many variables with the largest scope, high QE, and unknown sky conditions. You could always try 0.01 and see...
AC4040BSI. Try about 15-30%. eg 4095 is saturation in 12-bit High gain mode, so you want to be maybe around 1000 to start.
