Maxim DL problem with pointing

[MichiP]

Hello,

 

I need some help with this problem. I want to center an object on the ccd chip by clicking on the image to tell the mount move  telescope here. It is working, but it always moves the telescope too far. I think I have to give Maxim the information about CCD chip pixel size and dimensions but I can't find the correct place to enter them. 

 

Thank you

 

Regards,

Michael

Hi Michael,

 

first you have to enter your focal length of your scope in: obsorvatory/telescope/ site/

than you can solve one of your frames and in the same window (obsorvatory/telescope) "center on image" the "calibrate" buttom will be activated if your mount is connected.

If you click you can choose "use pinpoint" and now maximdl knows how many arcsec per pixel you have and also the rotation angle of the camera.

You can click on any point on your frames and select "move here". :-)

 

Hope it helps.
