Improved temperature compensation wizards using plate solving for automatic star selection. This is especially useful when the temperature is very cold. As long as the camera is not removed or rotated significantly, flats can be used for an extended period of time. Flats can also be made quickly at dusk or dawn, using a simple diffuser over the aperture of the scope. MaximDL also controls the guider quite well and displays a very useful graph of the guiding as it occurs to help tweak the guider for optimal results. Equipment and Techniques My equipment consists of the following:

The reference automatic focusing program. The external guide head is used with a Mini-Borg 50 mm guide scope, which provides a wide field of view and very seldom fails to find a guide star.
Final processing is done in Adobe Photoshop CS.
Works with most major camera control programs. It allows a great degree of automation, including sequences of color frames and luminance frames.
Meade ETX for portable imaging. Flats can also be made quickly at dusk or dawn, using a simple diffuser over the aperture of the scope. The STLM camera requires about 10 minutes to cool to operating temperature, and this can be done while the rest focuxmax the equipment is prepared.
This is especially useful when the temperature is very cold. I usually focusmqx the color images in RGB by applying weights determined from a G2V calibration star. I have been using FocusMax since it came out and it has been the best way to focus my telescope. A number of plug-ins and actions are available specifically for processing astro images in Photoshop.
Even colors and shapes are customizable!
Equipment and Techniques
As a long-time FocusMax user, thanks for taking the software to the next level with version 4. Accurate, automated and repeatable focusing.
If there are gradients I use the tools in Maxim to clean up the master frames. How to use FocusMax: Philips ToUCam Pro for planetary imaging. Then I copy them to my desktop via the local network.
The STLM is temperature regulated so that a focudmax of darks can be made at various temperatures and used for extended periods. Focusmzx version 4 was introduced I said what many do that version 3 was working ok. Ability to load and run custom scripts.
This provides control over levels and curves, along with layers for sophisticated image manipulation. I use MaximDL to acquire images, control the mount, and the dome. Real time temperature compensation for 2 active focusers using the all new FocusMax temperature compensation methods or standard driver.
FocusMax on ACP Web Site
Coronado PST for solar viewing. This quick focusing translates into more integration time. The basic idea is to make exposures of the sky using the same optical path as for the image to be processed.
Equipment and Techniques My equipment consists focusmx the following: As soon as it's dark enough, I "synchronize" on an appropriate star in the vicinity of the object to be imaged.
I also align the finder a red dot unit power device so that it is centered on the same object.
During imaging runs I use Real VNC to control the scopecamerafilter wheel and focuser remotely. Foucsmax can work with two independent cameras and focusers across 1 or 2 camera platforms. Wizards for initial system characterization of focus and temperature compensation.
I take multiple flats, and then average or median combine them.
