Maxim - Guide settings
Pardon my grizzling...
I've moved on to Maxim for controlling my SBIG - works a treat. So I've tried (several times now) to use it fr guiding.
Sometimes - it works fine. At others, it won't calibrate. I can't get it to move the guide star enough. I have tried different backlash settings - 0 through to 0.5. I have set the calibration time up to 50. Still no joy.
Tonight - no go at all on the horsie nor the Tarantula. But it will calibrate - easily! - on Eta Carina. Go figure!
I'm usig a Starshoot autoguider on an Orion short-tube ED80. The mount is an EQ6 running on EQMOD. I'm using the Telescope option for connection - using pulse guiding I believe.
Does anyone have any tips? Its driving me mad - its as if the PC is telling me what to image. Perhaps the beast is possessed!
