Hi Guys I have been looking at the Icron Ranger USB2 over Cat6 and the Icron Raven USB3 over Cat6a/7. is the difference worth the price. or can I get away with the USB2 speed/Capacity. Jim

Rick its for my canon T3i. Now that I know what to look for I can measure it. Thanks Jim

Does anyone know the distance of the sensor from the front of the lense mount. I kneed to know this distance so I can properly set the back focus on my focal reducer.

Rick, Guylain, tjensen7817 The changes that were made in v.3.1.17rc2. worked to give an indication that the program is booted. thank you Guylain.

Wayne Guylain was vary admit about auto focus when I asked him about it, and it seems beyond the limits of BYE at this time. But here is a workaround. I have a starlight moterized focuser on my scope and I can controle the focuser from BYE via a ASCOM driver. it is not "autofocus" but you are not touching the focuser at all. just watch the FWHM numbers while focusing in frame and focus mode.

All I heard back from Steve Brady yesterday and he has contacted Guylain about using a ASCOM interface with BYE and FocusMax. See my post in the News section in Theskyx section.

S3igell, Rick I have contacted Steve Brady via privet message on his forum and he seemed at least interested in that he took the time to look at the BYEOS API. Rick I was not insinuating that the Focusmax upgrade would be free. it would be nice if Focusmax treated BYE/BYN like other CCD software, like it does now. this way to incorporate autofocus you could take it or leave it, its your choice.

Rick, s3igell I'm with Rick considering that a version of FocusMax comes with the motorized version of a starlight focuser. it seems like a no brainer. less work for Guylain and a lot of people already have Focusmax available to them. I have done some reading on how Focusmax works in hat you have to get a star centered and close to focus then Focusmax will do the final tweaking. since I wear glasses it is difficult to get a good focus looking through a viewer. I currently use the manual focus and the FWHM readout in BYEOS to focus. any way to automate this process would be GREAT.

Guylain If you need someone to test Auto-focusing with a Starlight "Feather Touch" Focuser let me know.
