Hi Bart,
have you entered your guide scope's focal length in Maxim, site settings?
if using an OAG, it'll be the same as the main scope so you'll need to update that when on the OAG and change it when using the guide scope.
Have you also calibrated your main scope? that's primarily to determine the image scale, does it show the correct scale?
apart from that, if you calibrate and it has moved sufficiently in x and y, then you shouldn't have issues.
if it is drifting in dec, have you checked your polar alignment?
guiding will correct to a certain extent, but if the PA is poor, then it will drift off pretty quick.
as for the venetian blinds, its one of those settings. I had to play with a few of them till i got it right. i'll take a screen shot later on.
also turn off "display progress" during download. that creates a horizontal line.
what scope are you using and are you using pulse guiding or st4?
I use an OAG with a lodestar and maxim and find that I have to sometimes switch to ST4. other times I use pulse guiding. both work very well though.
Cheers
Alistair
