I found it .. you have to change the 'width' of the sensor. Craig
What I want to do is scan a 10 degree strip of the sky. In the TDI tab I can enter the focal length and DEC which then calculates the Drift Rate...
The SBIG camera software was up to date but MaximDL was v6.21. I updated to 6.29 and it is now working. Thanks Doug, Craig

Thanks Doug, I will try one of the STXL cameras. If I want to take a 1 hour scan do I set the exposure tab to 1 hour? And does it record to a...

Recently I noticed an intermittent problem where the guider shutter is not opening all the way, I end up with maybe 75% of the image blocked....
Thanks Bill, I have sent you an email. I didn't see an option for closing the thread but I think everything is resolved now. Craig
