    Is there a driver for SBIG AOX unit ? I am going to be using it with SC3, so is there 2 separate drivers in this case , if yes, where are they?

    thanks, Alex

    The AO-X is controlled directly by the StarChaser, so no separate driver is required.

    No, the DL Imaging drivers are used to control the AO-X through the StarChaser, with AO on Sensor 1.
    In MaxIm, normally you would set Camera 2 (guider) to be DL Imaging, and select the SC, and pick AO on Sensor 1.

    OK so just to clarify in my set up, I have FLI camera connected to SBIG SC3 unit connected to SBIG AOX (I have all the correct cables) and in maximDL I know you can select two sensors/cameras , one imaging and additional as a guider, but it looks like I have to have three sensors selection now one for FLI, one for SC3 and one for AOX. I’m a little confused regarding those selections I think I can only select two in DL…?

    Camera 1 will be the FLI.
    Camera 2 will be DL Imaging.
    AO is on Sensor 1 of Camera 2. There is only 1 image sensor in the SC-3. Some of our cameras are dual sensor, with a main sensor 1 and a guide sensor 2.
