Paul, I've been corresponding with Joseph at Cercis about the cold lock-up problem, and here is the latest: Regarding the low temperature lockups. We have...
Thats good to know. It is good to hear that they are working on a solution. Robert ... appear ... them. ... intercepts ... suspect ... it ... a ... wrapped ......
Here is an update... I have also been working with Joe, and he has sent me an updated controller that has the fix for the lockup problem, and the new firmware....
Greeting all and thanks for allowing me in. I've played unsuccesfully with PAM and GSC1.1 and after letting it go a couple yrs seem to have taken steps...
hmmm in my .\GSC11\tables i have LG_REG_X.TBL also, might double check the tree structure there's a quirk in the zipped file that will create a redundant layer...
hi folks got a run of clear skies but lousy seeing so i'm trying out pole align max i can't get it to plate solve using maxim: "21:54:12 ** Expose & Plate...
Hi, When using the above setting with a relative focuser, the position returned to should probably be zero, rather than the stored last focus relative...
I'm wondering if I have a unique situation. Duting the correction phase PAM will tell me to use only the Az or El to center the target on crosshairs. Sometimes...
It just means you should get the star as close as possible to the crosshairs using only the specified axis. It may miss due to a non-level mount, but don't...
I'm about to look it over again. I finally have a clear(sort of ) night coming up with no work tomorrow so am anxious to play with it but my gosh if I can't...
Hi Derek, I think that IE mangled the file names - it does that automagically. If you turn off the option "hide extensions for known file types" in Windows,...
John, You are correct that the previous focus position may have less meaning for a relative focuser than for an absolute focuser. However the previous focus...
Actually yes I was just coming to mention that I found that. I'd seen the txt extension before but did not realize that it was a double append. I vaguely...
Well, ok that's exactly what happenned. 1) The tables files DID download ok by right clicking and "saving target" but IE6 appended a .txt file to the name. So...
Hi Larry, I actually use FM as part of an automated imaging system (ACP) so the focus is actually a re-focus which starts at the current focus position. Based...
John, You might want to manually set the Previous Focus Position to zero on start-up if that will help. Go to the FocusMax Setup tab and at the bottom middle...
Hi Larry, That's the step I was asking if it'd be possible to do automatically if a relative focuser is detected. I can't do it manually, since this is a an...
John, Does ACP start a new instance of FocusMax every hour or does it keep FocusMax running all night and simply ask for an autofocus? The later method would...
Hi Larry, ... FocusMax running all night and simply ask for an autofocus? I've normally run it in the mode where ACP launched FM on demand each time, but I can...
The wierdest thing just happened. While starting up FM, I happened to have a Windows Explorer (not IE) window open, with a folder selected called "FocusMax" ...
Neil, Yes that appears weird but it is in fact normal. Windows causes a lot of trouble if more than one instance of FocusMax is running. Steve and I tried...
Still trying to dial in a Robofocus on an FSQ. I'm going from "in" to "out", and the scope was near vertical. I got a bunch of V-curves which worked fine...
Aha! Glad to know I'm not going mad...at least not over this case <g>. ... www.flemingastrophotography.com Direct from Boston - brilliant diamonds in pea soup...
Ooops. Here is a link to the attachment: http://www.flemingastrophotography.com/astropics/interim/FocusMax_V-Curves.jpg ... www.flemingastrophotography.com ...
Neil, The figures did get transmitted. Perhaps you can put them in the Photos section of the user group. Larry ... From: Neil Fleming To: FocusMax ;...
Neil, A slipping focuser should cause the type of V Curve that you saw in B. The RoboFocus is moving but the Crayford may be slipping so the HFD is not...
