No help to you but I have had the same problem too. Setup is Win 7, Maxim 5.15 and FMax 3.6.12. This seems to be an issue with 3.6.12 as dropping back to 3.6.1...
Steve, Finally got a clear night last night. So I made another attempt with my Canon 5D Mark II. It looked like I was getting close, definitely closer than...
Hi Steve, Sorry prior message was sent prematurely. Ran FMx (version 3.6.12) - Vcurve. Needs work but I can do that. I was using PHD Guiding during the ...
Joe, You might want to try connecting via 'the sky controlled telescope'. Telescope - setup Tom ... Joe, You might want to try connecting via 'the sky...
I can connect via Sky 6 - however then there are three windows open - FMx; MaxIm AND Sky6. I have also tried and can connect remotely via SkySafari and...
The trouble of using dimmer stars is that FM says that it is off frame or too weak even if the star stays well centered in the frame. Anyone else is having...
Hi Steve, Upgraded to ASCOM 6 and your latest. All seems well but I have a few questions... ( using Maxim 5.15 ) When I moved to the new version my V curves...
"...V curves now go from right to left..." Check your Direction of Movement option. Changing direction, In or Out, changes the direction the 'V' is drawn....
Hi Al- To add.., the chime is from MaxIm not FMx Yes, TC is in the next MAJOR release... Steve From: FMaxUG@yahoogroups.com [mailto:FMaxUG@yahoogroups.com] On...
Hello Gary- Yes, you can input a coefficient (steps/deg) OR you can have FMx periodically auto-focus and store the position and temp - you can then plot the...
Steve, I was just reviewing the logs, and noticed that somehow I was still using the previous version of focusmax. I thought for sure I had installed 3.6.12....
Thanks Curtis, I assume I did that. As I used the control panel to do so. If I need to do more than that (delete directories, clear registry, reboot, etc),...

I believe you will. Â Back focus for the CFW8 is 25mm while the CFW10 is ~21mm. Mark ________________________________ From: PeterN <pnelson@...> To:...
I have been successfully using FMax for a long time, but just now tried to set up tempeature compensation, and ran into an issue - FMax is showing "n/a" in the...
Does your focuser have a temp probe? I use a TCF-S and it has an external temp probe and the temp shows in FM. So my first guess would be you don't have a temp...
Hello! I'd like to know whether or not the newest FocusMax should be compatible with ASCOM 5.5? I just started using FocusMax and I have ASCOM 5.5 installed....
Focusmax also seems to have trouble finding an obvious star in the image. Maybe that is due to ASCOM 5.5 too. I'm shooting H-alpha though, perhaps the lack of...
Thanks for the suggestion, Mack, but note my message states that the temperature is correctly reported by RoboFocu software. The RoboFocus hardware comes with...
