I have been using the STXL 16200 with Self-Guided Filter Wheel and AOX for years. Tonight, I had no recognizable image from the main chip, but the guide chip was fine. I don't know where the problem lies, in camera circuitry or if the chip just gave up. Same problem when I switched from MaximDL to CCDOPS to Prism.

Thanks Colin. The attached are from this morning. I can send prior calibration files if you need to compare.
Hi Al, I think it's going to have to go into @Bill for repair. Out of curiosity, can you pull the camera off the scope, put it on the kitchen table, and have a look to see if the shutter is behaving? eg take a dark and see if it is properly covering the sensor?
I was afraid you'd say that. I'll take it off and check the shutter. Meanwhile, I'll see if I can get a courier to come and pick it up (wife-bound = house-bound).
