I just had my computer fixed only to find now it won't start up CCDsoft.
Just another little challenge. Its good to get some runs on the board.

Sure is - Ha! Computers! Love 'em hate 'em. Figured out the SX guider now. Turns out the pickup prism wasn't placed deep enough down the tube. Being a large format AO my adaptors and extension ended up smaller than the entrance pupil of the unit so I got to go closer to the optical axis to get some light until I get an adpator with a bigger diameter at the back of the SCT. The standard Meade has a smallish central hole (under 2") and the AO unit was designed for big sensors and big adaptors. Sorted out now.
