Re: How to reopen a minimized window?

I tried that- no difference. All minimized windows still disappear.

Re: How to reopen a minimized window?

Actually, any of the windows you minimize in AA7 disappear in Windows 10 - not just the Star Atlas. I've been leaving them open and just shuffling them around which makes it difficult to view the main window.

Re: Moonlite Autofocusing

Thank you both for the tips. I think I got it working after making some of the suggested adjustments but I want to try on multiple nights to make sure it wasn't just dumb luck.

AA7 Demo images

When I click on the image folder in AA& Demo, I only see M65_cal.fit, N6824.fit, and Annotated.fit but nothing else. When I opened tutorial #5 on image aligning and summing, it says to open images align1.fit and align2.fit. Where do I find these?

Re: Moonlite Autofocusing

Thanks, Duncan. I'll give it a go again tonight if the sky cooperates. On another note, I ordered the new Celestron ASCOM driven autofocuser which is due in April. If it works as advertised, it would be a much better option for me as it allows me to use again my hyperstar lens for f/2 which gives a ...

Moonlite Autofocusing

I am not sure if this is an Astroart or Moonlite question. I setup my Moonlite focuser with the ASCOM driver and did an initial focus on Dubhe using the scope focuser with a Bahtinov mask per the Moonlite instructions. I then set the Moonlite draw tube at midpoint of its total steps which I calculat...

Re: Camera and filter wheel no longer connecting

Well- tried again and same problem. I also tried two other software programs and everything connects. Only thing I can think of now is to uninstall and re-install AA7. I did that with the SX drivers but it did not fix the problem.

Re: Camera and filter wheel no longer connecting

No changes on the hub. That is what is so odd. I have no idea what changed.

Re: Camera and filter wheel no longer connecting

They each plug into a USB hub on top of the scope and a single USB cable runs through the mount to the PC.

Camera and filter wheel no longer connecting

Came out tonight and the SX camera and SX filter wheel will not connect. I changed nothing from last night when they did connect. I turned the camera off and turned the PC off and rebooted after turning the camera back on but the same result. Any suggestions? I tested the connections on another prog...
