We took the AO off the telescope, and exercised it. It seems to be working fine (assuming that the "time" setting results in it moving faster...
Some more data.... The AO has been working fairly well, giving good results. But it clearly has issues, and tonight, I had to disable it and...
It's there; I can download it independently. It downloads into the download folder, and opens when clicked on. I don't know that uploading it...
Hi, Thanks for your response. I have not removed the AO, but, tonight, I did several hours of trouble-shooting, with Maxim 7, latest build....
Reviving this thread, in the hope that perhaps this annoying problem can be solved. To review the bidding: I sent in my STX-16803, STX guider...
Yeah, it's perplexing and annoying! It happens under both. When it's happening under ACP, I sometimes stop the guiding, then re-acquire the...
This is not getting any better by ignoring it. Sorry. It may be that I have a setting wrong. It may be any number of things. But the erratic...
Please go back to the first post of this thread, and also see my later posts in the thread. Yes, this problem was there when I first used the...
The HDMI cable is brand new, so not likely. What "USB" are you referring to? No other cable has been changed, and yet this problem only started...
After a few nights of things working fine (with Maxim 6), and after waiting out the moon, I tried imaging again tonight. And Maxim/the AO/the...
Ironically, auto-dark was checked in Maxim 7, but not Maxim 6.4. Yet, Maxim 6.4 has no problem finding the star, and Maxim 7 cannot find the...
Thanks! It was set in Maxim 6.4 (I don't have 6.5), but not in Maxim 7. But I don't see how that could be causing Maxim not to recognize a...
One more thing, which indicates a Maxim 7 issue instead of an ACP/Maxim issue: Taking ACP out of the system (by clicking on "Abort" on the ACP...
The new, high-speed, fairly short, HDMI cable arrived today, and was installed. The good news is that I can force Maxim 7 to work with the AO,...
Ok. I'll wait until tonight, to show what it does in real imaging time. I'll start a remote run, and (assuming it does the same thing, which may...
I'm not clear what you're asking for, and/or how to do it. The main Maxim window shows the guide chip, with a big, bright star near the center....
Update: After an immense amount of time spent examining everything (while I wait for the new HDMI cable to arrive, and while I wait for the moon...
Thanks, Doug! I'll buy a good HDMI cable to replace the one that's there. UPDATE: I actually imaged successfully last night, the first time in...
They reseated the HDMI cable, and even wrapped it to the wire next to it, to remove any play. The camera connects just fine now, but the "camera...
The equipment is 800 miles away from me, and I have only seen it once (years ago); so I'm not familiar with the configuration. Yes, it's the STX...
