Deep Sky Images / Sigh, Thor's Helmet with L-eXtreme
« Last post by CraigG on March 06, 2022, 11:41:00 am »Well, in spite of feeling very guilty about being able to spend time on a mere hobby with Ukraine under a terrible siege, I managed to book some star time this week. 80 minutes of total exposure in 60 second subs along with 7 dark frames. Atik Horizon OSC with Optolong L-eXtreme duel-band filter riding on a iOptron CEM40EC. Unguided with manual dithering. Processed in DSS and Nebulosity with Topaz Denoise to finish off.

Accessories / EFW2 won't connect
« Last post by AnneS on March 05, 2022, 08:01:41 pm »This winter I've had issues with my EFW2 filterwheel not connecting first time in SGPro. I have to turn the power off and on again and then it connects. Then it's fine for the rest of the evening. When I used it a couple of years ago I was using AstroArt 4. I didn't have a problem, with that or APT which I also used at that time. I may have upgraded from W7Pro to W10 Pro over the period, I can't remember.
Thanks.
I will admit I haven't upgraded Atik Core recently but I only use the Ascom Driver.

The connection is a 5.5 mm outer and a 2.1 mm inner.
I hope this helps.
Best regards
Vince

Atik Infinity / Atik Infinity Artemis Software
« Last post by Ronin1956 on February 27, 2022, 07:28:35 pm »I just purchased a color Atik Infinity on Cloudy Nights, I'm running Windows 11 and I have downloaded and installed the most recent core software. When I run Infinity the camera only takes one picture while the record display indicates frames are being taken. The camera functions perfectly in SharpCap but doesn't work with the software written for the camera. What's up with that?
