Hi, I also have this phenomenon. But only if I connect directly via "Astro Optics Server Telescope". (from CCDAutopilot5) If I connect via Poth hub, everything is going well. Autoslew might have a problem with closing connections.

Hi Waldemar, thanks for the Information. seems to be a very viable solution!

Hi Waldemar, how many devices are attached via the Icron Ranger to USB?

hi Luc, good solution, i have also a green laser for pointing, or a focusser-board (for my C11, not for the ASA) on the moving weight..... prefetch, i think, luc uses this as an electronic finder ....not for guiding, for my own, i have never ever used an autoguider any more....

Hey Luc, how do you get good balancing in Dec ? a sliding weight on the top-dovetail?

Hi Guys, Thanks lukas, i will give it a try... Where ist this sequence-version, not in the beta-board, did philipp sent it directly to you?

Hey Lukas, where can i find the file ASCOM.AAGWare.SafetyMonitor.dll ?

Hi Lukas, sorry, i have never seen the mounts inside live ... but why dont give it a try by unpluging the burned pcb, if you dont need it. pull off the 2-line powercord and the usb-cable ...

Hi Lukas, this PCB ist the focuser-Controller, do you use this buit in feature ?. If not, disconnect it, and give the mount a try.

I measured your masterflat in CCD Inspector, the vignetting in the corner is over 60% ! Ithink, the flat cant compensate such strong vignetting. I also crop my pix....

Hi Ron, I think you are using 2" Filters, like me (mine is an atik 11000 with efw2 filterwheel, 2" screwed in filters), the vignetting is simlar to my setup. the chip ist ok, the filtersize ist the proplem in this fast f3.6 setup. is it possible to use large square filters (50x50 mm) with the build in filterwheel of the STL-11k? this would reduce the hard vignetting.

Hallo Norbert, I think the item# A2-8522DC is used for the DDM85 in the same way, as i built my adapter, the 4 holes are for the A2-DDM60LMGP Clamp. Of course one does not need this adapter to mount a C11 on the DDM85, simply a matching plate with matching blocks will do. only in my particular case of using the C11 with another mount (with losmandy clamp) too....

i am sorry, i messed something up, the ASA Dovetail is larger, about 5" (125 mm) !! i used this short 250 mm ASA Dovetail-Plate: http://www.astrosysteme.at/images/DDM85-DEC1B-250.PDF ....

Hello, you need a clamp (the ASA will do ..) , and you need a DDM 85 - Dovetailplate (4") .... plus a drill an some screws & nuts, of course ...

Hi, Mr. Noname As i am am using the C11 on a mobile setup too, i am using a 3"-Losmandy Dovetail-Plate on the C11. therefore I built an Adapter from the 4" Dovetail-Plate of the DDM85 to this Losmandy/Vixen Clamp.

Hi Sebastian maybe a bug in the beta of Autoslew, i remembered, i had also problems to remove ACC, in cases i use my non ASA-OTA without the mount-built in focusercontrol. But in "my" Autoslew 5.2.0.4 there is an ACC-Checkbox: see below ACC could also be linked via Sequence - under Settings / Location and Hardware:se below Last Chance would be a fresh install of official Autoslew and sequence .....

Hi! No uninstall...?!?! which autoslew-version Do you use, a beta or an official version?

Hi, interesting .... sorry, i but don't know. did you uninstall ACC? another way: - clear Autoslew Settings to factory defaults - or uninstall Autoslew and reinstall it, but erase or rename the personal setting-files in C:\ProgramData\ASA before.

Hi all, yes, ACC is a seperate installation. It could be used in 3 ways. Stand alone started via Autoslew remote via new Sequence (Beta) remove it, and maybe, you will have to edit the settingsfile of autoslew by hand, ... are simple txt-files ... C:\ProgramData\ASA\Autoslew\Autoslew.ini [ACC] Use ACC and take over settings from ACC=False

Hello Ian, yes there is an endswitch inside! i had the same problem with my OK3 an it turned out, that the whole focuser was not properly centered on its base and the barrel streaks the base, so the barrel could not reach the inner end position, therefore the motor keeps on turning and turning .... what did i do: i unmounted the focuser - 3 Hexscrews - 120° at the base - an mounted it back centered .... ready after that, fresh collimation of the N10 is needed. don't touch the pressure screw, only in case you can't get reproducible focus positions.....

Hi, as Bernhard mentioned, ...so tell us a little bit about your equipment (optics) are there "moving parts" like a mirror who shifts in an SCT, or similar?

Hello together, I agree to Nigel an Ian, and, a wiki is a powerful and, for ASA, cheap way, to hold information actual...

Hi Thomas, really nice! Greetings from (near) Göllersdorf.

Hi Michael. i' am also interested. please add me to the board and tell us, how to get to the software packages. best regards, Gerald

Hello Ian, Since i am using this catseye tools, i have never used my laser any more, they are perfect especially the Infinity XLK.
