Hi Friends,

I don't know if somebody can help me with this maddening situation. One year ago I've got the above mentioned equipment from Moonlite. Since the end of last year I was thinking about a CCD and finally last week I took the plunge and I get the new QHY9. Unfortunately this works under ASCOM 5 so I had not choice and I upgraded to this new version but now my FocusMax and Maxim can not connect to the Focuser. anyone with problem? Are you working as usual? Could you explain me how to get them working? I would like to thanks in advance anyone who could help me.

Best regards

Cant offer help directly but Mark Beale is selling that very setup in the focuser listings. You might PM him to see if he has been there and done that.
