MaximDl question.

Tonight my image run with guiding was fine. Then I went vertical with the scope, did a guide star expose then calibrate then guide and all was well but as soon as my imaging run started the guide star disappeared and it said guide star faded and my guide star disappeared. There was also no guiding values being displayed every interval of guiding. It has happened once before but I don't remember how I fixed it.
Any suggestions.
Thanks.
Mark

Mark,
Did you get a clearly defined red 'L' when calibration successfully completed? What is your X and Y calibration time configured as under guider settings? Default is 10.
Providing the telescope when it went vertical didn't need a meridian flip then the same calibration will work. Is Maxim connected to the mount to report side of pier the scope is on? Make sure declination compensation is also enabled.
