Autoguiding (MaxIm DL/CCD)

  • Improved algorithms for better sensitivity and guiding accuracy
  • Autoguide with camera mounted in any orientation
  • Autoguider settings adjustable while tracking
  • Declination scaling and pier flip options to allow all-sky guiding without recalibrating
  • Adjust exposure time, aggressiveness, calibration times, backlash, guide speeds and angle, dark frame, binning and subframe settings, minimum and maximum move, delay time after correction, enable/disable simultaneous corrections on both axes
  • Resizable graphical track log with configurable graphs, RMS and Peak display
  • Adjustable guider alarm thresholds
  • Automatically extracts subframe from dark to eliminate the need for extra exposures
  • Move a star manually, either timed or by clicking on the desired position
  • Offset tracking for following comets, compensating for flexure
  • Fully automatic autoguider calibration
  • Output enables for all four directions
  • Output guider pulses via autoguider camera, Starlight Xpress autoguider interface, Shoestring adapter, LX200 protocol, Cookbook interface, AstroHub, or parallel port
  • Display errors in pixels or arc-seconds
  • Full-featured SBIG AO-7 control. Includes scripting and dithering.
  • SBIG STV Control Panel for remote-controlled autoguiding
  • Fully ActiveX scriptable, including events
  • Configurable audible alerts with user-selectable .WAV files
