ascom driver question
Dan, I have to think you have DST turned on in one software and off in the other. Is that possible? Stuart

How do AP mounts respond to small guide pulses?
Sounds like a Dr. Seuss story! Stuart

Guiding does not run in RA axis
There is a similar box in TSX in case he’s using that. Stuart

Yes, use the ASCOM driver not the one supplied in TSX. Stuart

Ap1200 / TheSkyX jog runaway
Mike, the filename doesn't change but if you check the Help->About TheSkyX you'll see your actual Daily Build number there and can compare to what the latest version is on the Bisque downloads page. S

1100GTO not holding polar alignment
Those knobs are hopeless. Even greasing them they're still very tough to tighten enough to really hold still with a big load on top. Stuart

Some doubts about the use of the clutch knobs on the Mach1
I would slew the mount with the keypad till it is pointed at the panel then turn tracking off then when done send it to Park 3 and you'll be way more accurate next use. Stuart

Triplet Lens -vs- Doublet Lens
I'm guessing you're right about this. An extreme example of what you're describing would be shooting with camera lenses. Richard Crisp has shot a lot of NB images with camera lenses. They're far from

My comment was specific to combining multiple filter images for a false colour image. Not monochrome. Anyway as long as you use a registration package that deals with slight changes in image scale I’m

My memory of using Maxim was that it only handled rotation and translation. Registar handles scaling. Not sure about PixInsight. Stuart

I would think if you plan to combine the NB data later into a false colour image you’ll have the same problem. If your goal is pure B&W then I’d guess you’d be fine. Stuart
