We did that last night. The results certainly were better than they had been, but not perfect. Maybe one-third of the images have round stars;...
Here's a .fts file.
Ok; I'll pass that on to the guys at SRO. But I am confused. The problem is elongated stars, bilobed. The photo I attached to the initial post...
This evening, I'm imaging with the AO-X back in the stack (but not powered), and the stars do look a bit elongated (though not nearly as elongated...
Hi, I image with an STX-16803, STX-guider, and AO-X, mounted on a 14.5" RCOS, sitting on a Paramount ME. All of a sudden a few weeks ago, the...
Thanks!
The credit card company has not received a request for a charge; they did not decline the charge. I'm still stumped. Again, I suspect there may...
I just spent the last 45 minutes fighting with the website, ultimately failing. It rejected my credit card, although there is no problem with the...
Yeah, there's nothing obviously wrong. Tracking certainly is on, and it's tracking, but not well (tracks well in a macro sense, but not micro;...
Even the pointing exposures have streaked stars, so I'm not at all convinced it's a guiding problem. We're examining everything we can having to...
I have seen it be beyond the set limit, and not bump. I have images where the image clearly is doubled (one star becomes two stars, as if the...
It continues to do this, irregularly. But enough that all of my subexposures have elongated stars. When checking in on the system during the...
I always am backed up; that's always good advice. But whether or not I am backed up doesn't seem to me to be relevant to why the system sometimes...
...And now, out of the blue, after working fine for a long time, it's not bumping again. At all. No settings changed by me, nothing seems to be...
Ok, thanks. Selective suspend was already disabled. I'll talk to the folks at SRO.
The camera is an SBIG STX-16803, with STX guider and AO-X. Please advise what "checking the power cabling" means. The camera has the pricey wire...
Irregularly, but not infrequently (perhaps every three or four nights), I find that the cooler has turned off, and Maxim won't take images; this...
Well, there's good news, and there's bad news. The first good news is that increasing the bump time may have solved the bump problem. The need...
Ok, I'll increase the bump time. I have attached a screen shot of the settings.
It is the same, except I updated this post as I learned more. Any ideas what could be happening?
