If there's no power to the AO, it can't be an electronic problem. Maybe mechanical? Even if something is loose and/or resonating mechanically,...
Try unplugging the AO (turn power OFF to the camera whenever you plug or unplug the AO). Then run an image. If the oscillation goes away, then...
Sorry, I guess your post got missed. We're a wee bit shorthanded due to people on vacations. Please upgrade all drivers and firmware to the...

There are a few things you can do: Dither and stack. Normally you might dither by 2-3 pixels. Try going bigger, like 20 if you can. GSENSE...

This could be a shutter wheel sensor alignment issue, a mechanical problem such as failing bearing, interference with the shutter (caused by...
Best practice is to use separate flat-darks for the flats, because that allows you to stack the flat-darks. Otherwise only one dark is...
You can use whatever software you like to process the images... it's just that we've been developing tools to support these cameras. I do...
We have a new GSENSE Calibration tool, but it is still experimental. For the short term, I recommend the following: Use a large amplitude...
It is usually possible to repair them. We have a good supply of STF main circuit cards. They work fine in ST-8300 cameras... after the upgrade...
