SBIG AO-X support

Hi

Posting it here in the hope to refresh the conversation and request to prioritize AO support for SBIG.

I see an old thread that this was in the works. Hoping to get an update (fingers crossed).

Agree with you Vipin, I’m also waiting for AO-X support.

I use the SX-LF-AO and am willing to bet the SBIG AO-X is similar in function to it. I’d figure that since SGP is an imaging program and not a guiding program, you may want to ask the PHD dev’s to add support there?

Unless I do not understand the differences between the SX AO and SBIG AO…

Cheers,

The challenge here is that SBIG does not have ASCOM drivers and the good folks at Main Sequence Software have exposed an API to make the guiding camera appear ASCOM compliant through SGP. PHD then uses that “driver” to control guiding. That module/architecture would have to be extended I suspect.
