Before I get around to trying this I'm wondering if anyone is doing focus runs with CCDSoft and an Atik 383L+ camera. There are drivers for the camera with...
Lenny- Out of curosity, what is the download time for this camera? FMx is setup with a default of 15 sec and I am beginning to beleive that this needs to be...

I have been having a lot of trouble with FocusMax on my 14" Celestron Edge and cannot get it to work on that scope. I tried the cuide camera last night, an...
Jay, The supplier of my scope is Officina Stellare and they made the secondary focuser kit for me. A secondary focuser can be added to the build of any of...

Hi Gary, I use FMax successfully with mine. (Robofocus on the primary mirror) BTW the EdgeHD is F/11. Unfortunately on my summer vacation and will only be back...
Hi Gary, First, I have neither your telescope nor your focuser. Your focuser is moving in only one direction. The question is whether there is a mechanical...
That's what I was thinking David, "Is there a focus lock ...." Could Gary's Focuser's Lock not be _loosened far enough_?...joe :) "May You Go Among The...
Hello Jan, The PID figure may have been better (lower), but I don't think that you are comparing like with like. Even assuming that you used the same stepper...
Hi John. Thanks for your comment. I think that you may have misunderstood its purpose. The purpose of my note was to inform users of FocusMax that it worked...

Was your FT3545 electronic focuser the original one sold by Starlight Instruments (I forgot its name), or the one they now sell, which is the Starizona one? ...
Yes, You can't do much with only the motor, a stepper needs computer controlled interface, cables etc. The easiest way is to buy it all in a package. I bought...
