Hallo Robert, Vielen Dank für die Antwort. An das Y-Kabel hat mich mein Sohn auch schon gebracht - und dann fragte ich bei Jaime von Lunatico .... er meint, dass es wahrscheinlich nicht klappt - aber ich soll es testen.... passieren wird nix. Das werde ich noch probieren, wenn die folgende Lösung nicht klappt. DENN ich habe mir einen USB Switch gekauft- und heute erhalten. Da habe ich ein "nicht so schlechtes" Gefühl - der "Schalter" zwischen PC1 und PC2 ist in der Software verbaut - daher sollte das Signal keinen Verlust haben - denke ich mir - aber wie du sagst - sicher ist sicher nix....An sich müsste man per Hand auf einen Schalter drücken - aber den kann ich mit dem Lunatico Dragonfly auch remote betätigen. Das mit der 2.Windowsinstallation - keine Ahnung - aber es kann ja auch sein (wird auch sein) dass beide Systeme parallel laufen weil Seeing gut.... egal - jetzt habe ich eh schon den 2.PC installiert und bis auf das Montierungsthema läuft es. Ich werde hier dann schreiben - in den nächsten Tagen - wenn der Switch getestet ist. Vielen Dank Robert

Hallo Freunde, Ich arbeite - je nach Seeing mit 2 Optiken (Newton wenn Seeing gut - 135mm Objektiv wenn Seeing schlecht) Da diverse Programme (Maxim, FocusMax, Autopilot..) nicht 2 Instanzen ohne Probleme erlauben, oder dann massive Probleme machen, habe ich mir einen 2.PC fürs kleine Setup organisiert. ABER - natürlich hat der 2.Pc keine Verbindung zur DDM. Wäre aber natürlich fürs Automatisieren von großem Vorteil. (Focussternslew - Objektwechsel - Parken) Ich würde mich zu Beginn der Nacht für ein Setup entscheiden - welches dann die Kontrolle über die Montierung erhält. Ein USB Switch wäre erhältlich - aber ich weiß nicht, wie gut das dann über die ganze Nacht läuft.... Wie könnte ich das Problem lösen? Vielen herzlichen Dank Robert

Hello everyone, I need help !! For some month i have troubles with (i think so) USB connection problems... see the toppics above) Now i can describe the problem a little bit better. In the logfile there i can find this: 01:59:56.548: readInt32 data read error 2x. Received error# from ftdxx.dll was 5 01:59:56.571: Now trying ResetDevice, this returned 4 01:59:56.612: readInt32 after ResetDevice still not working, returned error# 5 01:59:56.682: Now trying FTDI CyclePort, this returned 4 02:00:08.121: readInt32 after CyclePort still not working, returned error Nr. 4096 The whole file (without the 1000 rows where are no problems) is attached. Im not so a hero in this case. So means that i have problem with connection? ( im using win7 64bit - an expensive 2 Meter USB cable dirct to the plug of Pc) Can it be a softwareproblem - so i couldt install Autoslew new .... Or is this a windows problem? THANKS if somebody can help me. Robert 2020_10_15_0h34m.txt

Hey Amenophis, You are right !!! happy christmas Robert

Hello Amenophis, Im not sure to understand .... I think that these to modells are different ohters... The H8 is a hyperpolic Reflector f2,75 - and there you need this H8 Corrector - whitch is normaly integrated in the focuser. And for other Newtons (ASA f 3,8) you will need the 3" Wynne Corrector. kind regards Robert

Hello everybody, On the ASAs website i can not find any focuser or corrector - i think because they stoped the "everybody" setup. Does anybody know something? Im asking because i need a good 3" focuser and corrector for my f4 newton telescope. If someone knows an other good product - please let me know. Thanks Robert

Thanks Mark, I will try. kind regards Robert

Thanks Mark ! Do you think that my problem has to do with the cables or perhapps only software or mountelectronic? Thanks Robert

Thanks Bernhard, i will not switch on the mount the whole time.... Because i have only solar batteries and i think it is not very good for the electronic if it is on for 24/7. But perhapps somebody can help for the usb connectionproblem..... kind regards Robert

Hello at all, Can anybody tell me what can be the reason for the USB error - see the attached image: This problem is getting more and more for the last 5-6 month ... Im using Win7 64bit and the usb connection is with a 1.8m cable to PC. long time everything was fine and this error never appeared. Are the "USB 3" cables better then normaly USB2 cables? And the second question: i allways have to power on the mount before windows is starting. if i switch on the mount after windows - i will allways get the error that mount is not to find ..."and autoslew is starting in sim mode". This is no big problem but it is not fine for remote wake up.... Thanks for help. Robert www.astrofotos.at

Hey Mark and Bernhard, Thanks !!! Ok ..... But i'm wondering about this. Allways turn on is not good in my case because i have to save electric power - My obs is so far away from normal energygrid that i have to use solarbatteries and solarpanels. But if you say then i will start mount before computer. Thanks and CS Robert

Hello friends. Im using a DDM 85 with Win7 Prof. 64bit. The DDM is connected with a 2 Meter long USB cable. Before some weeks i had a bluescreen during a night. Since this event i have problems with the connection between DDM and PC. Everything else is working fine. I got the problem that windows installs the windows usb driver. I tried to repair this with the little tutorial from ASA - what is to do if this happend. "howto_recover_usb_driver" But the problem is not realy solved. At the moment it is so that the mount MUST get power before the PC is coming up. If i start the PC first and then the mount - then "Neue Hardware wurde nicht installiert". I set the pc that it will NOT installing a new (windows) driver.- because in this case the pc wouldt install the Windows USB driver. Can somebody help me to solve this problem? Thanks Robert

Hello one more time :-) Thanks Berhard - this was the goal ! Now i can get one step further.... and see that the Camera (Maxim) makes troubles. I can not make a photo. But i will check all together and hope i can find the problem. i will write at evening. kind regards Robert

Hello Bernhard, I rembember : At finishing installation of Sequence a Window appeared and informed me that it can not work with the ini file. I can take a look to my older Laptop.....

Hello friends, Please help !! New PC - Win7 64 bit. Autoslew and whole programms are running. But if i start "Sequence" then promptly appears an ".NET Framework" error: Sequence appears then in a blue design - and is working very slowly. I can't finish the settings.... I checked the version of MS .Net Framework -4.6.1 is nearly the last one. I dont know what to do. A new installation of Sequcence didnt help. Thanks Robert www.astrototos.at

Hallo Bernhard, The problem is because CCD AP determines his own meridianfliptime. (This value i have to fill in "minutes track past meridian". In the moment, when CCD AP wants a flip - the ASA Mount has to do the flip at same time. Not one Picture before or after. example: If CCD AP wants to make a flip - and fliptime for ASA is not reached, the mount stay on same side > CCD AP changes guidecorrections in Y Axis > Guideerror will shut the session. If CCD AP not needs a flip but ASA Mount make the flip the same guideerror appears. I tried some nights to find the right Settings.... CCD AP "track past Meridian" 31 Minutes (longest exp = 30min) AS: "how far you can go througt Meridian; 8 Grad (just long enough to track 31min over meridian) Minimum distance for eastsideslew: 7,5 Grad (make sure that mount makes a flip after meridian) Flipoption: Stay on side If i have exposuretime 30 min - i think this values are ok, but if i change to 15 minutes or 10 minutes it wouldt be wrong. If somebody can find a way for this puzzle - or idea please let me know. Thanks Robert

Hallo Denis, Thanks - i often used Google translate .... sometimes you can get some worries. I wish you Happy Christmas too. Im sure here are some members who can help me. I have to wait. Kind regards Robert

Hallo friends, Im using CCD AP5. The Programm is working good - but i have one problem where i can not find the right settings.... My setup allows me to go ~40 minutes about meridian. Settings in CCD Autopilot: "Track past meridian" 21min. (thats why i made 20 min subframes) Settings in Autoslew: "how far you can go through meridian": 8 Grad (this value must be grater then the Limit in CCD AP - and - my longest exp is 30min.) "flip option": - stay on side - "Minimum distance for eastsideslew: 8 Grad (so i thought that the Mount Flips by a slew comand after Meridian) Please help me if you have the correct settings in this case. Thanks for help - and beautiful Christmas! Robert Pölzl

Hallo Friends I using now trialversion of CCD Autopilot 5 - it works very fine. Until now i didnt work with flip. But now i will try to use the meridianflip. Is somebody working with CCD Autopilot? The settings in CCD AP are easy to understand... But which settings are correct in Autoslew: Autoguidersettings > "Flip Guidecorr. after flip" = disable (this does CCD AP) Type + Limits > how far you can go through the Meridian = ?? > Minimum flip distance for east side slew = ?? Flip Options: > i think "prefer Eastside" = ?? Thanks for help Robert

Hallo Ralph, Thanks for the link. i tried it on my working PC - but if i disconnect one device - Programm is crashing. But i never give up :-) Kind regards Robert
