Hello to everyone (greets from Poland) my ST10XE is blind - in short no mater how long I make exposure - there is still the same in downloaded frame with telescope/ on my desk - using my AstroNotebook or other old computer I've also changed power supply and USB cord - still no luck from autoguider is simple dark image - from main ccd looks like in the picture from Maxim and CCDOps images looks exactly the same checked - shutter working perfect (if it's visible - ) help, F1
Was it working and then all of a sudden stopped working? Please explain the events that led to the malfunction. Thanks Tim
Unfortunately, after a few (EDIT: 3 - 4) years of astrophotoshoooting simply stopped working for no apparent reason I did as normal start my observatory and after unpark mount take 5 seconds shot and the camera did not record any stars in the field of view so it began that way
Dear Jaroslaw, Can you check for oxidation on the plugs and connections. So the shutter and the fan works but no image displays after downloading? If there was no moisture in the chamber and no software or drivers were changed it may need to be repaired. I would check the cables and connections one last time. If nothing helps you can contact Bill Lynch for a repair. His email is bill@sbig.com Best regards Tim
It looks like it will need to come in Jaroslaw. I am currently in the process of moving into a new building and I have no phone or email for the rest of this week, at least. Hopefully I will be back online Monday or Tuesday of next week. -Bill
Thanks for Your help Gentleman's - I will back next week to seek info from Bill (thanks again) that is settled on new place and ready to solve my problem all the Best for You Bill AND You Tim - thanks for kind and very fast answear
Jaroslaw, Have you verified that you've got the "Internal" guider selected in the software? Send me emails at bill@sbig.com.
