So I guess I would say the last few sessions have been qualified successes; the AO-8A will guide, and the results are good, but it's not clear...
It does - - all good. It looks like I might have an opportunity to try it out Friday night, as long as the forecast holds. If it still doesn't...
Okay, I've downloaded and installed the link you sent, and I just want to confirm - - it installs like an app, but there's no new program or...
Hi Colin: actually I did NOT update the DL driver - - let me do that and try it before we get into a remote session (tomorrow will not work for...
Sorry - - forgot the new error message one.
So, I'm sorry guys, but this thing just doesn't work. I downloaded the new version of Maxim DL, and it really didn't make any difference - -...
Thanks - - I'll try it out next clear night, and let you know how it goes.
I am running 6.27 - - installing 6.28 now. I'm sure I've checked for updates in the last month or so - - was this just released?
Thanks - - and understood. I have been using the "DL Imaging" settings for both, and "Sensor 1" (I only tried "Sensor 2" to see if it made a...
So... any other suggestions? For now, I've taken off the AO-8A, and reassembled the STC-7 to the SC-2 using my spacer.
So I held off posting after the testing mentioned above, as I found other things to try in the Maxim DL manual (trying both "sensor 1" and...
Thanks Doug. And yes, I've noticed a lot of manufacturers are very loose in their interpretation of an "ST-4" port! I'll try your...
So some additional testing a couple of nights ago, and some additional findings: 1) The setup below yielded in focus stars for the autoguider...
Thank you - - and thanks again for your help!
Success! I fabricated the spacer out of UHMW, using the dimensions Tim specified above, except the thickness of the material: I used 1/4"...
Sounds good - - thanks!
So this thing continues to make a liar out of me; when I tried camera/SC2 combination with the NP101 again, I had the same issue with out of...
That's a good point about coma; visually in the main scope, it's difficult for me to detect, so I hadn't really considered it. And I'm going...
My best guess is that it is approaching focus, because backing it off consistently makes it worse, i.e., the star image gets larger and more...
Not with this set up. Initially, I played with the position of the pick-off mirror, thinking there was a shadow cast on part of the sensor,...
