What is your Imaging/Guiding software?

Charles,

I'm using the OAG which is part of the filterwheel/camera assembly rather than the one that came with the AO-LF. I think your configuration should work fine. I'm using MaximDL for guiding and image acquisition.

If you have problems communicating with the AO-LF over the serial connection try plugging in to the guide port instead. On my unit the labels were the wrong way around. I was pulling out my hair for a couple of hours until I tried that as a last resort!

Cheers,
Rick.
