I just mounted one of the Volquartsen Picatinny rails on my Mk IV Hunter in preparation for the Trijicon RMR9 optic that is scheduled to be delivered to me Monday. SkySafari does not natively support this configuration. The look of the picatinny may not appeal to all, but the universal nature of the mount is undeniable.

Now available for TheSkyX and CCDSoft - please email for details Software to coordinate two or more cameras on one mount in Maxim DL.Until such time, any setup instructions, and troubleshooting, must be addressed through SkyWatcher/Orion support. Successful astrophotography depends on having a large number of high quality sub frames which build up a large integration. One approach to increasing the yield of CCD camera sub exposures in a given imaging session is to turn to multiple telescopes and CCD cameras on the same telescope mount.Ī common requirement when gathering sub frames is to dither the sub exposures.ĭithering means that each sub the pointing of the scope is randomly adjusted by a few pixels. This means that hot pixels and other unwanted artefacts do not appear on exactly the same pixel on each sub. When a number of dithered subs are stacked we use numerical methods reduce remove these problems. The Maxim DL environment combines autoguiding and image capture. Between each exposure Maxim will implement the dither function by adjusting the autoguider aim point.Ī sequence of sub exposures (perhaps 10 frames 10 minutes) can be defined. This is possible because Maxim has complete control over the guider camera, imaging camera and autoguiding function. It can perform the dither shift between sub-exposures.Ī single instance of Maxim DL supports one imaging camera and one autoguider.

Whilst each mount will only ever need a single autoguider, adding a second imaging camera and telescope to the same telescope mount requires you to use a second computer running a second instance of Maxim DL. However, Maxim DL does not contain a function to synchronise the imaging cameras across multiple computers. When doing a run of multiple sub exposures over a period of hours it is difficult to have both imaging exposures start at the same time on every frame – leading to the strong risk that the dither will happen mid-exposure on the secondary computer. The purpose of this software is to detect the start of a sub exposure on the 1st computer and automatically start the sub exposure on the second computer.
