Steve - maybe we should just hop on the phone tomorrow. I'm available 10am - 2pm. Maybe a remote session where I log into the machine would help....
Hi Vince, I received a message from you separately, and suggest we hop on a call.
The filter wheel is connected to and controlled by the STXL camera, which uses the legacy SBIG Universal Driver. DL Config uses the DL API...
Bias level is high in 6.50 (11000); and very low in 7.1.2. (250). Any chance you have the guide sensor set to EXTERNAL in 7.1.2. ? eg it's not...
You don't need clear skies to take darks or bias frames :D
Steve - DO NOT CONNECT/DISCONNECT the filter wheel when it has power! This can damage the filter wheel or the camera I2C AUX port interface. It...

PM sent with details.
Thanks - I'll check with the guys when they get back on Monday. I'm wondering if maybe the camera thinks 5 slots is the max for some reason like...
Check the firmware version in the camera too.
Hi Al, We're off until Monday. What software are you running that is giving this error (6)? In the driver checker, does it show sbigudrv.dll...
This is fabulous work! I just bought a copy and downloaded it. This looks even better than last year's version. With over 14 gigabytes of...
Just send guider images; they are small so upload here. BIAS and DARK may be sufficient to tell what is going on.
It's very likely hardware-related. It could be power, aging capacitors, or something else. The old ST-series are unbuffered (eg the image is not...
