    Hi -

    i have a very early STT-8300M which has worked flawlessly for years. last night i found that the main imager is returning completely black images - no signal at all, no bias or dark signal. otherwise the camera works fine, CCDOps can connect, set the cooler temperature, retrieve a guider image from the FW8-STT, etc.

    i emailed bill at his old sbig email address but didn't hear back. how do i start the RMA process to have the camera serviced?

    thanks,

    rob

    Bill is still at the same email, but is off for a couple of days. I'm sure he will get back to you shortly.

    If you want to send it here, I can get it back up and running.. I will send you the RMA details via private message.
