Hi All -- Yesterday I sent the following message:
> I finally broke down and acquired Maxim DL/CCD. Im using
it along with TheSky 5/5.
Previously, Ive been using CCDDOPS (DOS) to aquire images, and
had A,W,S,Z keyboard control of the scope to "Nudge" it a bit to
move the image around in the FOV during the download part of the
cycle.
I cant seem to find a way to do this with Maxim. The Sky "Scope
Move" box requires mouse movement and clicks, and Maxim wont
release my mouse, unless I "Abort" the image Aquisition.
While writing this, I just realized that if I add a "delay" say of 10
seconds or so between Image Aquisitions, I may have time to use TheSky
to nudge the scope. Hmmm!
Any other suggestions?? I would really like to be able to "Nudge"
from the Keyboard!
Best regards,

In response several have suggested "ACP" & "ATP". I have now tried
each. They are both very nice programs and I may end up using one or
both --but -- As far as I can see, neither solves my problem, as neither
seems to have "Keyboard" (not mouse) support, that can be used to
"nudge" the scope while using Maxim (like I have now in CCDOPS-DOS).
Any other suggestions???
Thanks for the help so far.
Best regards
Frank
