Sbig Star Chaser w/ AO8

[Jeff Bevan]

How do I connect my Sbig AO8& Starchase off axis guider?

[Jeff Bevan]

The only choice I seem to have relative to my Adaptif Optics unit is SBIG AO (indi), what is that because it does me no good.

Hi Jeff

please see this thread. Cut to the chase is that it's not really possible

There is some discussion over at the NINA group to package up and make some SBIG equipment available via alpaca. That may be a path forward for you

The Windows version of PHD2 doesn’t support the SBIG AO devices, only the StarlightXPress AO.  I don’t foresee that changing anytime soon because none of the developers have such a device and the overall demand for AO devices is diminishing.  Developing support for a new AO device is a non-trivial project because each one is different.

 

Sorry,
