Two ATIK's at Once

Post by Forum_2015 »

Hi All,

I have been using AA5 for some time with an ATIK GP as a guider with no issues (except with EQMOD, but that's an issue for elsewhere).
I purchased an ATIK 11000 for imaging and have not been able to use both in the same AA5 session. I have to open one AA5 window to run my guider and NEQ6. I then open another AA5 to run the ATIK 11000. I have been unsuccessful with running the filter-wheel.

I have read some instructions on how to fix this, by Merlin 66, but there must be an easier way.

In a nutshell,
How do I operate a NEQ6, an ATIK GP Guide camera, an ATIK 11000 imaging camera and an ATIK EFW2, all in one open AA5?
-In simple terms:-)

Cheers All.

Hi, here is a solution using the ATIK's ASCOM driver.

Cheers, seems to work for indoor trials so far.

I just knew a possible solution would bring the clouds.
