Yes, I believe it’s also a field flattener (search the Optec NextGen website for detailed information which is very comprehensive - ‘it is also excellent at correcting the optical problems like spherical chromatism and optical curvature that are common in these telescopes’). I used it on the Meade 12", I once owned, for galaxy imaging with the SXVF H9C camera, greatly reducing the imaging time. Now SOLD.
Apologies, I’ve added the price, £450.00.

All sorted. Even managed to get the ancient and wonderful Artemis 11002 running smoothly via Maxim DL.
Hi William Diffraction got back to me on the forum. Procedure (as you suggested) is to remove all old Diffraction software however once the upgrade key has been purchased you then have to upload the demo version of DL v6.2 (not the full version). On running the demo version load the attached .txt file from Diffraction’s email and it populates the User Registration panel with the required info. Thanks for your help.
I’m attempting to reinstall all my astro software on a Windows 10 laptop after the previous dinosaur (XP) gave up the ghost. The only problematic software appears to be Maxim DL. I have the original Maxim DL v4. something CD and a plethora of License Key upgrades purchased over the intervening period. Today I also purchased a current upgrade key (on checking the Diffraction website I found I was eligible for a reduced price upgrade). Having installed the original disk onto the new laptop, I’m asked to fill in the User Registration details, however none appear to work. Has anyone else resolved this issue. I’ve also posted on the Diffraction forum, with no luck as yet.
Several mono filter and RGB combined images taken between 18:25 and 19:10 on a Tak FS128 refractor with filterwheel, x2.5 Powermate and SkyNyx 2.1 mono camera. Seeing was reasonable tonight, flaws in the images are down to my processing!
