Thanks Colin. PT has me in better shape with less pain. Still can't get in the dome yet but soon. For the time being I'm going to swap out the STX...

Colin I've tried for the past hour to connect via your instructions with no connection to the filter wheel. There also are no labels stating not...
What I have found is when the initial connection fails if I unplug the filter wheel from the camera, wait for the rotation to stop, then try to...
Thanks Colin. After posting I thought of the manual.....of course. Any lights to indicate filter wheel connection?
