Well, you know what they say, 'even a blind pig finds an acorn occasionally'. Given the number of things I've messed up just this past week I'm...
Hi Colin, pages 17-18 of the StarChaser Guider User's Manual. See screen shot attached. Mark
Thanks Colin, that is what I am using. The manual does seem to say otherwise, but perhaps it is just my mis-reading the syntax and context....
Hi, I am not sure why, but when I set up the SC-3short with my AC4040, I have to set "sensor 1" rather than "sensor 2" for the AO-X. The manual...
Hi Colin, I have done that in the past, although I recall having some difficulty in getting a good plate solve on the guider chip. I'll give that...
Thanks Doug, I'll grab the moon when it is next around conveniently!
Hi, I have an SG-3short and AC4040. I need to build an accurate FOV in TheSkyX for the system. I have a placeholder setup that is correct for the...
That makes sense and is what I thought was the case. Thanks Doug.
Hi, when using HighStackPro for a long exposure, does HighStackPro register the subexposures it is taking behind the scenes before combining and...
By the way, this worked like a charm! The focus knob is easy to turn accurately, and since I knew the difference in focus position between the...
Thanks Doug. One last question that is somewhat off topic here, but related to calibrating the various images. I understand that if I use...

Hi Greg and Merrel, I've been reading your posts, and hope to interact as well as I have issues. I'm just getting the AC4040 running, so I have...
Thanks Colin, I made the adjustment, and tonight I'll see how it works. I'll be there at night next week so I can adjust as needed. I'm enjoying...
Doug, thanks for the super quick response! My guess was wrong as usual :) I'll do a 1.25 turn clockwise and see how close I get. Best,
Hi, this is a bit of a goofy question. I am working on the install and setup of my new AC4040/AFW/SC-3/AOX, and will be at the remote observatory...
Thanks!
Hi, a pretty basic question. Is the SC-3 cooled? When I first connected it (AC4040-FilterWheel-SC-3-AOX) for testing I thought I saw a cooling...
Thanks Doug,
Hi Doug, I tried compressed air, but they seem to be persistent. I can't really see them directly on the chamber window using a bright light....
