I would just edit the BSCALE parameter to make it "1" and then see what happens. That's what the MDL and ASCOM documentation say it should be. I checked binned and unbinned photos from MaximDL 6.27 an

"ASCOM Direct connects to an ASCOM telescope driver, and uses the PulseGuide method to send autoguider commands to the telescope. Normally this is done through the Telescope option, so that it goes th

Thanks to both of you for the responses. I'm thinking of abandoning MaximDL this summer. What I was really wondering is whether SGP and PHD can be used to replace MaximDL, including plate solving and

Application software sells hardware and not the other way around. The Win10 market share is such that the vast ecosystem for the product will continue to grow even if some trivial advantage can be gle

The problem that Don alludes to is that to drive any another imaging program like MaximDL you have to know a lot about how that program permits access to its camera control methods. It's got to be a l

There's also that pesky "Freeze Declination" check box in Config/Change Config/Mount Parms. That one got me one night. Rgrds-Ross

One thing to bear in mind - kind of a long shot - you need to select Telescope before you connect the guide camera. If you've already connected the guide camera, have the ST4 cable connected, and then

I use MaximDL with AnSvr. It integrates perfectly with it on my iOptron mount. If Pinpoint fails then AnSvr takes over and gives me a solve every time. Then I just do a second "accurate" solve with Pi

I thought that sitech now supported sequence generator pro which is cheap and comprehensive when it comes to camera control? FWIW the problem this weekend is that a camera was disconnected physically

When using the SKYX you also need to push the button Set Track Rates on the Telescope tab to get the correct tracking rate for a comet or an asteroid. I'd stick with the SkyView technique - it works n

I hope I'm not making some mistake here but Voyager can connect to any mount that has an ASCOM driver. So, why can't you just select in Voyager using the ASCOM drop down SiTechDll Telescope. This work

Any chance this could be a privileges problem? I get things like this from time to time with some software if I'm not careful to never run anything "as admin". I'd check to make sure that all of the p

Well, I guess my memory must be playing tricks on me. I could have sworn that I turned OFF GEM auto flip in SiTech and had CCDAP control the flip. Sorry for any confusion I may have caused. I use CCDA

I don't use ACP, I use CCDAP but Che is correct, in my experience. You need to turn off the automated flip in SiTech for ACP to control the flip. I don't image past the meridian but my settings are to

You can only use the Sharpcap PA method IF you can see Polaris and if you have a wide enough field so that you can see all around Polaris. That's why PHD is a much better method to use and ALMOST as e

I have a mount that has a built in GPS. Typically there is a difference of between 1/4 and 1 full second between the GPS and the internet based time server. Whether that matters to you or not depends

Static may be the problem BUT the last thing that I would ever do is use a Prolific chipset on a mount. Planewave, Astro-Physics and Software Bisque all recommend/use the FTDI chipsets. I have seen re

The thing I'm not sure that you tried to connect a really short - less than 3 feet long - cable directly between one of your computers and the SiTech control box. It's been my experience that computer

Did you select “SiTech DII Telescope (ASCOM)” as the Mount choice in the Connect Equipment Panel? If it’s not there then SiTech is not properly installed.

I am having a strange problem with SiTech and MaximDL working together. I am wondering if there is a workaround or if my settings might have gotten corrupted. Here's the situation. I am running .92ge.
