ASI2600mc Duo compatibility with AM5N

HW3aKW8r

Can the on board auto guider camera of the ASI2600mc Duo auto guide the AM5N mount using MaxIm DL while imaging with the main camera?

Thanks

HW3aKW8r Hello，you can do this,it works.

Since nobody has responded--I can't say with 100% certainty since I'm using an ASIAir (2600MC-air actually), but the two chips on the Duo should be seen as separate, independent entities and therefore it shouldn't be a problem. Someone that uses software like Maxim DL should respond in an ideal world, however.

R0k9pZfT if you are using the ASI2600MC AIR, unfortunately you can't use maximdl, or any other program that requires a cable connection to the camera sensor. The AIR is, for some reason, not able to communicate with a PC through USB, so controlling one or both sensors with Maxim or PHD2, or SGP etc is impossible. I'm trying to troubleshoot my AM5N and the RA jumps and I have a 2600MC AIR as well. I tried to bypass the ASIAIR in the unit since the problems started after the firmware update to the latest version of the ASIAIR and try to guide the guiding sensor through a PC with PHD2. Not possible.

The original questioner didn't say anything about an MC air. I simply said I couldn't fully answer his question because that's where I was coming from.
