Kevin,
I have looked at your kit on your ‘comminity page’ very impressive.
How do you switch the calib and flat lamps on and off.
Shelyak have a gadget for this.
It is possible to operate robitically I only heard of one instance of this in spectro.
PRISM and ACP software have robotic functions, which will enable you to create an observing plan.

Will they ever learn to get their facts right ! source Daily Mirror 2019-01-20.

David,
While we are all fallible, your right it depends on how the question is worded.
When I was studying at the OU, this is something we had to understand and master, in order to get good scores on tutor marked assignments and exams.
I agree its a very interesting question, which has only recently been researched and answered correctly.
We have all learned something new !

On a long term average which of the 3 planets is most often closer to Earth ?
As Steve and David have given the correct answer Mercury, it would be pointless leaving it till next week.

I was one of the first outsiders to see Moon rock and dust samples in Nov 1969 bought back by Apollo 11, at Queen Mary University of London Chemistry department, who were given small samples for analysis.

Nick,
I tried this and it still doesn’t like it.
This may be because they are both atik cameras ?
I could try swapping the atik for the lodestar guide camera to see if that works ?

Nick,
Thanks for your feedback.
I am trying to get 2 cameras to work in MaximDL Atik 460 and 314.
Maxim does not like it and freezes.
What’s causing this ?
How do I configure Maxim for 2 cameras ?

Thanks for your responses.
Nick, Microsoft.Net is installed.
How do you get MaximDL to guide on a spectrograph slit ?
Eric, I have enabled the pulse guiding box.
Just need a clear night to test the system.

Peter,
I don’t know why vista no longer works on your computer BUT;
I used vista at work it was user unfriendly, and consequently withdrawn by Microsoft some years ago.
I suggest Windows 7 as a good alternative.
Remember these are all hybrids of XP, the best Microsoft operating system ever.
