I am using ST-2000XCM camera with guide chip binned 2 x 2.

What camera are you using for imaging and guiding? How do you know that it's Mon, 09 Mar 2009 17:31:18 GMT jean guy moreau http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/pkastro/message/111 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/pkastro/message/111 Hello Paul, Thanks for being there ;) I think i have installed it properly as i can see the plugin in the CCDSoft dialog box.

Check that you have the VB6 run-time intalled on your computer: Mon, 09 Mar 2009 15:34:05 GMT jean_guymoreau2002 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/pkastro/message/109 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/pkastro/message/109 Hello, 2005 is a long way in the past ;) any recent activity ? I can't make AutoDither PlugIn to work with CCDSoft 5 must be old news right ;) What's the Sat, 26 Nov 2005 03:35:56 GMT Paul K http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/pkastro/message/108 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/pkastro/message/108 Wayne, try FocusMax, you'll like it. It is quite a bit more sophisticated than just measuring brightness or star FWHM. It uses Half-Flux diameter (HFD) Sat, 26 Nov 2005 03:19:22 GMT george2003@... http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/pkastro/message/107 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/pkastro/message/107 Wayne, I use FocusMax on my LX200GPS with the standard Meade focuser. I was very skeptical about the ability of FocusMax to utilize this focuser and achieve a Sat, 26 Nov 2005 03:06:51 GMT Wayne Cooper http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/pkastro/message/106 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/pkastro/message/106 I have the Optec TCF-S focuser. I have yet to use it. I am not certain how "@ focus" determines focus. My only concern when I go to use this focuser, along Sat, 26 Nov 2005 01:46:27 GMT Paul K http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/pkastro/message/105 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/pkastro/message/105 Hi Wayne, I'm not sure that there's that much value to adding autofocus. FocusMax uses a very robust method of autofocusing, seems to work well, and it's free.

Your product sounds excellent. It would be nice if your software could be Mon, 21 Nov 2005 18:02:29 GMT Paul K http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/pkastro/message/103 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/pkastro/message/103 Hi Bob, Yes, CCDInspector detects and distinguishes between image tilt and collimation error. There is some interaction between the two, but the difference Mon, 21 Nov 2005 14:09:11 GMT bobmayl http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/pkastro/message/102 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/pkastro/message/102 I am interested in the CCD Inspector but have a question about its ability to collimate a telescope.
