brrttpaul Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I have been playing with Maxim going through the tutorials etc and on the exposure I notice it says " click on auto this will bring up a new window", I have done this several times but no window appears and if I click start the exposure seems to be set at 60secs and I cant see where I change it, in single or continuos I dont have a problem with it but cant get that window up when I click autosave. Any Ideas? I currently only have the camera connected to it on a normal tripod not a mount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey-T Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Do you mean this window ?This is without camera connectedWhat camera are you using ?Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brrttpaul Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 yes thats it i cant get that up for some reason, I got the one on the left and following the instructions it says click on autosave and a new window will appear ( the one you have on the right) but for some reason it dont come up with me, im using a starlight express sxv-h9 osc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey-T Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Have you tried it without the camera connected ? there was a problem with sxv-h9 drivers, don't know if it would cause this thoughDave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steppenwolf Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Aha, 'Autosave' not 'Auto'!Try setting the camera to 'Simulator' to take the camera driver out of the equation - this should tell you if MaxIm DL has suffered a corruption of whether the problem is with the SXV-H9 driver.

brrttpaul Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 no i havnt tried, I had the driver direct from the guy at starlight (forget his name now soz) and it all seems to work except for this . i will try it now without the camera connected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey-T Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 There were various incarnations of the svx-h9, think they introduced set point cooling at some point, Terry ? wrote new drivers for win 7 I think, what operating system are you using ?DaveGlad you're sorted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brrttpaul Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 You solve one thing and then something else pops up, Ok I am all connected the mount is on my synscan, the camera is set up in Maxim everything is good (ish) I have taken some photos and saved them as a TIFF, I go to my folder and plug in my memory card, I then click on one of the subs to send to my SDHD card and "the disk is write protected change settings to allow it" ARRRRGHHHH. i have tried right clicking a sub and going to properties but from there im lost. I have to save to a card because my PS is on my main desktop, only other option would be to connect the laptop to desktop somehow (is that network sharing?)

Davey-T Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Another of those Windows messages that are designed to confuse, I've had this with CDs and SDHC cards, have you tried using a USB stick which is what I do for smallish amounts or an external USB disc, in fact when doing Solar I capture directly to the USB drive.Simplest way without getting into more M'Soft fun setting up your home networkDave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brrttpaul Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 Home network!!!! 2 hrs we have been trying to do that this morning lol, tick everything go through all the procedures then right at the end wham, I have now got to the point where I can see the folders and pictures but cant open them because of??? um networking password i think (not sharing password), it really has cooked my brain tbh it seems to be getting harder instead of simpler. I was thinking of saving to a usb stick tbh. it gets so frustrating sometimes why all the obstacles rant over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey-T Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Told you so if I had a pound for all the hours I've spent, wasted on Microsoft products I'd be nearly as rich as BGDave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brrttpaul Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 OK , here,s what I have done so far. I have set the scope/cam together on a normal tripod (I know my synscan works on my mount ) , anyway i pointed it at some trees took a 2 sec sub convert to colour and saved as a TIFF (saved to usb stick) then i went to PS on my main comp and it loaded ok , played around a little then saved as tiff again and opened in lightroom. That is all I want to do at this stage, the only real problem i had was the focus as i took one sub then turned the focuser repeat untill i was nearly there, ( im guessing it will be easier on a star). Anyway I finally managed a recognisable (just about) photo. Just so frustrating being under this cloud for weeks now. its something so its progress lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
