Hi all,
I have a ~18 year old G11 with 492 drive. Used to guide it with an ST-237 + relay box, but (a) the relay box disappeared at some point and (b) I no longer have a computer old enough to run the 237, although I am trying to change that.
I do have a ZWO ASI290MC and wanted to try guiding with that. It's a one-shot colour cam which I know is not ideal for guiding but if it works OK I would pick up an ASI120 mini for guiding and use the 290 for imaging. According to ZWO all the ST-4 outputs are opto-isolated so it seems like this should all be safe to hook up - I'm just surprised that I haven't found a single example anywhere of anyone using ST-4 from a ZWO camera with a Losmandy non-Gemini mount. I haven't seen anyone saying it *won't* work, just... nothing.?
Is anyone using this combination (ZWO ST-4 output with 492 drive) successfully, and if not does anyone see any big risk of damage ? I can live with it not working but with 492-based mounts out of production and 492 electronics out of stock I'm a bit more wary than usual.?
Thanks,
John
