Maxim DL 4 and The Sky 6. Will they talk to each other?

[[1ponders] (Paul)]

thanks everyone for you help. I have the SX working with CCDSoft, though its a bit glitchy because it doesn't have the same functionality as the SBIG, but i can use it if i want. I've also managed to get the fits header to include object RA and DEC, though not through the SKY. I have to connect to the mount directly through DL. I can't seem to change the data bases for pinpoint astronomy until I install the UCAC catalogue. it doesn't seem to have the needed catalogue and I cant get it to recognize The Sky ones nor connect directly to the sky. But I'm definitely on the road to success.

The biggest problem that was resolved, and I'm embarrassed to admit it.... .. I didn't have a cable connecting the mount to the laptop so that the sky could control the mount. and CCDSoft could get the RA and DEC. I still cant get CCDSoft to insert WCS info for some reason. I keep getting an error messagem but i seem to recall something about CCDSoft not being able to work with images over 1 sq deg.

Any more info would be greatly accepted but thanks for all the help so far
