Steve thanks for responsding, it's a software problem. I have installed ascom platinum V6. Not sure what version focusmax I'm using, that version looks...
Having gotten a nice set of v-curves, I'd like to use FMax to determine how parfocal (or not) my filters are. It seems to always default to Red. Is there a...
