Hi all,

I am having the same issue. I've just got my new QHY294 and with MPCC mIII and Optolong L-Pro I have the same circle in the middle of the frame, wchich I cannot get a rid of. If I remove the MPCC, it disappears. Is it MPCC or the L-Pro?

Hi Jan

Can you drop Baader an email and show them the photo?  I have been in touch with them about the same problem and  I think it would be great if more of us show them the same problem and hopefully get something done.  I am using a 250/1200 newt, so a similar scope.

Will let you know

Cheers!

I think the back focus would (or least should) have been 55mm with DSLR anyway.   44mm is the distance between the sensor and the flange and then you’d have an adapter to join to the MPCC. What filter where you using?

I was getting decent images even with 44mm (including adapter), but without any reflections, so I thought to give it a try. But for sure you are right.

I am using Optolong L-Pro, also used it on DSLR, btw...

I am having the same issue with Baader MPCC mark III. But only with my new QHY294, I believe because of spacer and back focus set to 55mm. I've never had any issues like this on my DSLR with the same corrector. I am thinking to reduce the back focus to 44mm as it was with DSLR.

Do you, guys, have other solutions to get a rid of that? I am using 200/1000 newt, btw.

Actually, the section you show is not part of the code as I have it on github. Did you copy and paste this from a webpage? If so, I think you also copied a section of html. This is a link to the code

https://github.com/wberlo/Arduino_Moonlite_Focuser/blob/master/Arduino_Moonlite_Focuser_V1.ino

Oh, okay, will need to have a look into that once again. I have just downloaded the ino file and opened in IDE, downloaded and added the library. I have seen some differences, but was not sure in it. Honestly, it is for the fist time I am using it...

Thanks for your feedback and support, hope I will make it run 

Cheers!

Hello there! I was wondering if you could help. I found your setup very interesting and decided to go for it (thanks for that!!  ). I am however having issues to compile the code and to upload it to arduino... the error is like this:

Do you think you can help?

Thanks in advance!
