Thanks for the replies gents! Mike, I do the same, but this cable is for the focuser and has to hang free. I still haven't tested to figure out...
Hello! For the first time ever I had a cable wrap around my imaging train - very tightly. As luck would have it it bent the HDMI plug that went...
That's too bad. The extra expense AND the additional weight (despite the lighter Aluma camera head) rules me out. Thanks for the reply though Doug.
Hi guys, I currently own an STXL-11002, FW8G and AOX combo. I was looking at the upcoming Aluma 4040 and wondering whether my FW8G and AOX is...
Just thought I'd chime in on this thread since chronic frequent icing of my STXL 11002 has been a problem for me also (usually about a month or...
That's definitely ice / moisture inside the CCD chamber. Seen it many times myself on my STXL. You need to recharge your desiccant. Cheers, Marcus
Here's what mine looks like (FW8G guider). I set it up manually. Offset of guider is 26.95 armins from centre of imager frame (adjustable). Be...
I have the same artefact as well (STXL-11002).
Thanks Adam. As an IT person I can identify with that. I'd be hoping that this issue is at the top of the priority list though. As well as...
Robert and I have the same camera Colin. Moreover, others who have the same problem have the same camera - eg Martin Pugh and others in this...
Because, according to Robert (the OP), the latest firmware (a beta??) doesn't fix the problem - see his last post. I don't want to upgrade until...
Similar to Robert, during my last session and still on the older firmware, I suffered 2 timeouts that were unrecoverable (= camera shutdown &...
While I appreciate Adam's efforts, I can't help saying how extremely disappointing this news is. Like Robert et al, I have to continually monitor...
When can we expect the firmware update?
Sorry Rick, with respect, this is a non sequitur. You need to read through the entire thread before throwing stuff like this in because it can...
I spoke too soon. :( I had the same failure during my last session - guider window freezes in TSX at "Exposure completed". It happened during a...
Hi Adam. Is there an ETA on the firmware udate?
Notwithstanding the firmware update Adam is working on to fix the erroneous linkage between FW8G and STXL shutters, I thought I'd update on my...
Great! I haven't tried a firmware update yet but this one will be worth the risk.
Sounds good Adam! What about the converse? Main shutter operates during a FW8G exposure? I've watched it happen.
