It seems that my STF8300C bit the dust. I normally use Nebulosity for Imaging and the camera has been working great up until the other night. All of a sudden it stopped downloading images. After a LT reboot it worked again for about an hour then quit again. This time I just disconnected Nebulosity and restarted the program reconnecting to the camera and again it worked till I quit for the night. Today I hooked the camera up to my Desktop computer to check the firmware. It was out of date so I reloaded the new firmware since I know that the camera had a problem with dropping frames. Anyway, I thought that I would see if the camera is still working and tried to download a couple of darks using Nebulosity. It seems now, the camera will not download anything. I tried the same thing with CCDops and no go. What is strange is that If I use a 3x3 binning option it download fine for a while but at a 1x1 binning option it doesn't down load. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Nor
Hi Adam. I just uploaded the latest driver checker the other day - SBIGUdvr = 4.88 build 4 date 6/25/15 the firmware stf-8300USB.bf2 2.47 , stf-8300ga.bf2 =2.18 I just got off the phone with Bill Lynch. and will probably ship it out to him unless someone else has a solution. Cheers Nor
Before sending your camera off for a hardware test, would you be interested in letting me take a look over TeamViewer? I haven't been able to reproduce the issue in house, but that may be a result of some other factors. Cheers, -Adam
Sure NO problem drop me an E-mail at NBS@njstargazer.org and I'll give you the codes. I have the camera hooked up to the PC.
