Hi All. Just to close out this thread, I believe I have resolved the issue with the help of this forum and some experienced users. A combination...
Thanks Bill. In that case back to thinking it must be a Maxim settings/software issue. If anyone can provide details on the proper settings for...
Thanks Geoff. Yes, I see the same thing when asking only for a guide sequence (and vice versa when asking for a main sensor exposure). I have not...
Let me try and describe the problem statement as I understand it: When operated independently, both sensors acquire and download images. This can...
Thanks Bill. You are understanding the problem correctly. I agree that software makes sense (why I initially suspected Maxim settings), but using...
Thanks for your response. I've now tried a simulation on the benchtop and found the same as described above in the field, as follows: The imaging...
Thanks for the reply. No, I actually turned separate thread on to see if that resolved it, but did not so I reset to off.
Hi guys, Well, I was able to get the autoguider working. As I suspected it was a question of having visible stars in focus. So- no hardware...
Thanks Bill. Will any HDMI cable suffice or do I need a specific one?
Yes, I checked the positioning just before imaging and adjusted such that the "shadow" is just outside the FOV. The more I think about it it...
OK, so I tried it tonight. Focused the main sensor and then tried to focus the guider. I'm getting zero signal when using ambient light, however...
Thanks Doug. Made those changes. Guide image still looks black (in daylight). I notice the shutter opens/closes for the duration of the guider...
Can anyone advise on the correct settings in Maxim DL v6 for the camera w/self guided FW? See below for an example of what I'm using and the...
If anyone from SBIG tech support is monitoring this, I'd appreciate if you can get in touch with me. I also left a voicemail with "Ralph" earlier...
I am having a major issue powering up my new STXL 11002 camera and connecting to computer. I have the camera with FWG8 FW installed. Following...
Thanks Tim. In the event a spacer is not available, could you recommend an O-ring size that might work? I was thinking 51mm OD, 2mm thick. Not...
I just purchased the STXL-11002 with self guided FW package. The filter installation instructions do not provide any detail on how to install the...
I have an St-i mono which I use as a guide camera (connected to STF-8300/FW5/OAG). I have been using it successfully for 1-2 years. Last night...
Thanks for the advice. That's what I thought as well, but I have not been able to find a standard cable (micro or mini) that fits. Perhaps I'm...
Correction: The cable is the USB cable connecting the ST-i to the computer (not mount).
