Colin....autodarks are being used. The scope is a CDK14 and the guide star was mag 5.6. All drivers are up to date. This seems related to the...
Gents can you just confirm that the STX Guider does not require the DL Imaging driver, but is configured as 'Imagers Built in autoguider'...
Gents.....I can advise that after several weeks of use now, there is no advantage to using the SC3 in bin 3x3 or bin 4x4, which is very...
Hi Doug just noticed a potential problem with the shutter on the integrated guider of the FW8G. It appears that shutter cannot keep pace with the...
Thank you.
Hi Doug can you give me the specification for the 4 mounting holes on the AOX baseplate please? i.e the one you bolt to a filter wheel, or in my...

Supplemental question: When I bin the SC3 4x4 the DLImaging AO Control windows shows the following: SNR ~60 Total Counts - fluctuates around 200...
Colin does the SC3 feature a 0.7x reducer like the FW8G does? and can you confirm that the SC3 can be binned 4x4. The only reference to its...
Hi what would it take to develop an ASCOM driver for the SC3/AOX combination so that I can configure this in SkyX? There are functional issues...
Thanks Colin….all drivers/firmware correct. It was the power plug that was the issue.
