Hello Everyone, I am getting a ? instead of a 1 as a response to a :Sd or :Sr command on a CP3 frimware V2 using the bottom serial connector. Is this expected sometimes? Only sending the :Sd and :Sr

I doubt that this would have any effect on Windows Updates. You still need to run Windows inside of parallels, and it would be subject to the same updates as running on physical hardware. I use a

Or just use a W'7 machine. Microsoft will refuse to update it in the new year. Stuart Heggie http://www.stuartheggie.com/ -- Stuart http://www.astrofoto.ca/stuartheggie/

To avoid the potential Windows updates difficulties, how workable would be running APPC, the ASCOM drivers, SGP, PHD2, etc. on an Apple MacBook Pro running Parallels Desktop? Ted

I do essentially the same thing. I got everything running with the new laptop about 2 years ago - all of the drivers, ASCOM, AP ASCOM driver, Sequence generator Pro, PHD2, TheSkyX. Since then I have

I have a dedicated laptop which I use for imaging and never allow it on the internet. No Windows Updates for me. Rolando

I have been following this thread because I have a similar setup and I was curious about the cause of the problem. One difference is that I am running Windows 7 Pro x64. I did not have the same

Robert. That's the ticket! your latest version really brings out the detail in the nebulosity especially in both the Eastern Veil and Witches Broom. I like how you have controlled the brightness of

I am glad you mentioned the astronomy tools. I forgot I had them already and have not used them for years. I am going to play with them. I live in large city light pollution also. My dark sky

Yes I did tweek it(levels, curves, Noel Carboni action make stars smaller, brightness/contrast and finally unsharp mask) to give the nebulosity more punch. I tend to do that even with my terrestrial

Thanks Don. I see you applied more min filter to reduce the stars and darkened the background. While it made the nebulosity jump more I look at a balance of highlighting the object and trying to

Hello Robert I really like your mosaic. Well done. It's on my bucket list to do one day! Like Mike, I took the libedrty of downloading and playing with your image in Photoshop. I tried posting the
