I use a Bakhtinov Mask forfocusing, but would very much like to use FocusMax.If you've succeeded in making your OK3 work with FocusMax, we'd like to hearfrom you.Thanks,Bob Gillette________________________________________Posted By: john_carver0 Wed Apr 17, 2013 4:55 pmBob,I have a ASA 16inch with the OK3 heavy duty focuser. I have been using it withFocusMax and ACP successfully for 3 years. I am using a Apogee 29050 cameraright now. I use to have a Apogee U16M camera before.So again yes I have successfully -and at present- used Focusmax with OK3 focuserand heavy duty focuser. However over the past 3 years I have had to reinstall itbecause of new computer, software failure,ect. Each time I have had to reinstallOK3 focuser drivers it has been a real headache on the OK3 software side notFocusMax. Thus I always clone all of the hard drive using Acronis to avoidhaving to reinstall any of the OK3 drivers. It always takes at least 1 to 2hours of failures and then out of the blue success to reinstall OK2 driverscold. FocusMax is easy. Sometimes it seems like Black magic. If you would liketo talk with me I can be reached at my veterinary practice phone # 972-578-2553,Skype as - astroveterinarian, or email res0hver@.... It can be done withgreat success and it is well worth it. But it requires work and dare I saywitchcraf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
si6pack Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 I do not know whether it helps, but the pdf instruction in the following link http://forum.astrosysteme.com/index.php?/topic/74-ok3-connects-properly-every-second-time/ solved may issues for me (i.e. COM port not found, connection problems to FocusMax etc.)...
