Well, there's good news, and there's bad news. The first good news is that increasing the bump time may have solved the bump problem. The need...
Ok, I'll increase the bump time. I have attached a screen shot of the settings.
It is the same, except I updated this post as I learned more. Any ideas what could be happening?
New problem, alas. The AO has started not bumping the mount. It's odd; the pointing still is close to perfect, and the tracking is close to...
I asked this question on private email, but Bob Denny asked that I move it to a forum. So here it is. It is just a continuation of this vexing...
Yes, this is the same issue (just I don't know whether it's an ACP issue or a Maxim issue).
It seems that my system (STX-16803/STX Guider/AO-X) always chooses the same, minimum guide exposure for the AO, regardless of how bright the guide...
We have inspected it. We ran an "exercise AO" with it off the scope, and they saw no sign of life. It's malfunctioning, so that I'm not using it...
Anything?
Well, now the AO-X again is wandering all over the place, for no apparent reason (meaning that the guide star just makes graceful loops, generally...
It turns out that I had to turn the camera off. Who knew? It's now updated. We'll see if that has any connection with my problem.
I'm up to date, except for sbigu64.sys; it will download, but refuses to install, claiming that the file is in use by another process (despite the...
Colin, all boxes are unchecked. I tried updating the SBIG drivers, but it won't connect to the SBIG server, saying, "Error on Connecting to SBIG...
Hi, I have a STX-16803, with an STX guider and an AO-X, sitting on a 14.5" RCOS. For reasons I cannot figure out, the guide rate seems to...
Update: I worked with the guys at Software Bisque, without finding anything definitive. But, as time went on, the problem of...
Thanks, Doug. I seem to be improving, slowly. Yeah, I'm suspecting that it only happens on the east side of the meridian, but I don't know....
Sorry for the delay; I'm dealing with COVID (not fun). My stars are still streaking, intermittently. I image two or three targets each night,...
Colin, I've been imaging with the STX guider (not using the AO-X) for the last several nights, and most of the images are streaked. In...
If you mean take the camera/guider/AO off the scope, so one can look at the AO glass to see if it's moving when being told to exercise (in Maxim,...
I'm going through the images taken last night (guiding without the AO). Some are streaked; some aren't. But I thought that perhaps this screen...
