  11. Corner artifacts with N10 and SBIG STL-11000

    in ASA N-SERIES & ASA H-SERIES

    Posted · Edited by gmalits

    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.

  12. interface between DDM85 and C11 OTA?

    in ASA DDM85, 100, 200, 500

    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....

  16. prevent ACC SI from starting

    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,

     

    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

  20. Unreliable Homefind with OK3

    in ASA Focuser

    Posted · Edited by gmalits

    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.....
