Is there any progress here at all? So far I have found that very bright stars will autoguide without guide star fade. Brightness values around...
I would like to add some more information to help determine the cause of this problem which still seems to exist with the version of MaximDL...
No sorry, I don't have any SNR measurements. To be fair though I think I am guiding on Alnitak whilst imaging the horse head.
Well I guess what you call particularly dim for the use with an AO. From what I can tell those stars were around 9.5-9.7.
Hi guys, I have a further observation and I think a development to this problem. Tonight I am imaging on a very bright star at 7.1hz. It does not...
Still have guide star fade issue for me too. Nothing appears to be adverse to the new build.
So Adam do you think it is worth updating the driver?
Bob I am doing likewise. My firmware is 2.45 and the driver is listed as newer than the latest drivers. Adam did the firmware and driver update a...
Geoff, that sounds like a logic related problem. You should also see it repeat the problem once you go off to focus or cross the meridian.
I have found that doing a restart manually in Maxim ensures that all images that follow before moving the mount are guided properly and the error...
Yes doing that. It requires the star and starts guiding. This error happens any time the telescope has to go away from the target. It only seems...
Hi Doug, it does that, then it requires the star and then just after the 10 second delay I have set in CCDAP the AOX software reports star fade...
A further update. The guide star fade problem happens only after the scope has gone off to do something like a meridian flip or focusing run. The...
I reverted to Maxim 6.08 and all the above errors disappeared. Now however I am getting Star fade. See new thread.
Reverting back to the Maxim 6.08 alleviated most of the problems excepting for star fade. Under automation through CCDAP Maxim locates the star...
I changed the HDMI cable today. I had a spare new one, so I will test again once the cloud clears.
Hi Doug, none of this happens when I don't run the AOX. I can guide normally and take images without error. Last night I got the AOX running and...
And, a lockups. Camera 1 will not open unless I reboot the camera
Now getting an intermittent Rx time out on camera 1.
Just to add. I re-powered the camera and then tried the autosave function with a delay of exposure of 5 seconds and that seems to have worked....
