Now guys, what about anti-stiction - on or off? How many cycles?

Also, do you set the scope declination or not? Is it necessary if we re-calibrate each target? I have NEVER set it, never had an issue.

I haven't heard of anti-stiction, is that something in Maxim? I have never used Maxim.

I think you've got your image scale wrong. Its highly unlikely its 8 arc secs/pixel. Most setups are .5 to 2 arc seconds per pixel or an FSQ may be as much as 3.5. You can get a free download of Wodaski's image scale calculator. I use it all the time. Its very handy. Especially if you are evaluating various cameras on your scope.
