    As of March 13, 2019 the SBIG STF 8300m was operating well. But, next use on March 15 all images, dark, bias, you name it where all saturated to full pixel depth. Suspecting a software corruption reloaded CCDops, and updated firmware. Still completely saturated frames.

    Need help

    CCDops version: 5.66

    Owen,

    It could be a camera failure, send me an email, bill@sbig.com, and I'll give you the instructions for sending it I.

    Regards,

    Bill

    Swapped power supply, cables, usb port on computer. Still the same. Visually confirmed that the shutter is working.

    Also, replied by email.
