It's also interesting that there's a positive correlation between the nominal f-ratio and the slope: 0.039312 * 5.9 / 4.0 = 0.055034 which is pretty close to...
I ran across an interesting problem when trying to load programs on a laptop to function as my observatory backup computer. I have been running FocusMax for...
Jeps you do miss something, with V5 of ascom you need to download the driver for the focuser you use. Michael. ________________________________ Fra:...
I have updated my ver of Maxim to ver.5 I have NOT removed my last used ver.4 (yet) When I try to open Focusmax (with Maxim ver5 running and camera connected)...
Well I'm asume then that you also installed the drivers :-) Then they "should" show up on your list over focusers, if not me best bet would be a faulty...
Hi All, Can i just check for clarity if the latest PoleAlignMax with work with Verion 5.02 of MaximDL. I was told that it doesn't then read a post on here that...
Hi All, I was just curious about using FocusMax with Barlow lenses. I ran my initial V-Curve fine with just my ccd, i then tried using a 2x barlow and focusing...
Yes, if you use a Barlow you need to generate a second V Curve for that scope with the Barlow. And if you use a reducer you need to generate a separate V Curve...
Rich, Yep, you got it. Every time you change the optical path in some way (but not adding filters), you need to create a new V-curve. Then use the appropriate...
When trying to run Focus Max with a Robofocus on Vista, I get an error message: Error 91: Object variable or With block variable not set modFile_IO Load Log...
Hi, I get the same error with FocusMax 3.4.0.14 and XP (SP3) on my laptop but it works fine with my computer (XP with SP3) at observatory. I uninstalled and ...
I found a way that solved my problem. I’ve uninstalled FocusMax, deleted the C:\Program Files\FocusMax directory and deleted the two entries (listed below)...
Hi everybody, as the V-curve measured by FocusMax depict the diameter of the cone of light with respect to the focuser position, the V-curve depends on the...
Hi All, I finally got PoleAlignMax up and running in ManximDL 5.02. This is the first time i've got it running and i'm having a few issues. When i start PAM it...
Hi Rob, Why would the 3rd image be different to the first 2 ? I thought the way PAM works is that you align it to star then setting it running and it slews...
It is not different, but need a starting point. Need to see what error is given by pinpoint for the failure. You havent given any information on what is going...
Rob, The mount is a heq5 pro and the camera is a Starlight Xpress Mx916 and the scope is a 8" newtonian fl=1000mm @ f5 There is no erroe as such it just says...
Rob here's the Log. 00:17:03 PoleAlignMax Version 2.0.55 00:17:03 PinPoint is connected 00:17:03 MaxIm DL/CCD V 5.02 is the Imaging Software 00:17:04...
Im not going to give you a smoking gun for the problem but I can give you some ideas. Try setting up and using the GSC-1.1 catalog for pinpoint. Set your...
Hi Rob, I'm using GSC-1.1. with regards to the binning, Maxim always locks up on image download wheni try 2x2so i can't use it. I had that problem in version 4...
Hi, The real reason PAM failed is because there are only 6 image stars detected in the third exposure. Notice how you went from 42 found in the first, to 16...
I never noticed the the star count decreasing. The odd this is that it was pretty clear andi didn't notice any cloud moving in. Maybe their was a fine laye of...
Hi again, Rich, If you have kept the images (I don't recall what happens to them in PAM) you might be able to go back and look at them to see what's happened....
