The three images are fine; let's stand down and see if it stays fixed. Thanks for your help! Mark
I am pretty sure that I had power cycled it a few times, but, just to be sure, I did it this afternoon. Then I told the system to guide with the...
Nothing changed. Literally. Same two targets as before. One night it worked fine; hasn't worked since. No cables tugging. Yes, it is the...
Hi, Once again, my AO-X is acting badly. All was well for several months, then suddenly my images were full of very oblong stars, all in the...
Colin--Feel free! It's not predictable when it misbehaves, but it's doing it quite often again. Sometimes it's very difficult to tell if it's an...
Ok; I'll let Colin do his thing, and then talk to the guys at SRO.
Thanks, Bob. The equipment is in a huge roll-off observatory. How best to convey to the guys on the ground at SRO what it is that you are...
Of course! When?
So I'm getting nowhere on solving this, after several months; as I write this, it's busy taking an hour of luminance images that it's pretending...
Owen said, "Filter wheels are notoriously bad for lying about their state." Am I just stuck with a very expensive, unreliable system? Given that...
I sent the filter wheel in to Bill, who put it through its paces, and found no problem. It's back on the imaging rig, and doing the same...
We've changed the cable; no difference. I'll contact Bill.
We just did the test, and it threw an error message every time. I have attached a screen shot. It would go to the first filter, then, when going...
Agreed!
To put the problem in perspective: I just finished the bulk of the processing on an image for which I took L, R, G, B and Ha images. Including...
Ok; we'll do that, and I'll report back.
My thanks to both of you. I am inclined to agree with Bob. Last night, I spent some time "imaging" (meaning taking short images) only with...
Hi Colin, I attached the relevant ACP and Maxim logs to my post above from noon Saturday. I have attached the Maxim settings to this post. I'll...
Thanks, Bob. And just to clarify: 1. It is always the L filter being used instead of the correct filter. 2. It has happened with all the other...
Ok; I posted over on the ACP forum. Hopefully, Bob will chime in at some point. If you have a back-channel way to communicate with him, that...
