Eureka! Abandoning the calibration library method works, and I got clean images when taking both flats and darks every night. This requires that I...
That’s a deep shot, wow! If I want to get this object, I will have to do better. That includes taking darks and flats every (moonless) night....
Thx for your reply. It's a big ask to take calibration images "live", but I get it. This would require me to take darks after my imaging sessions,...
Opps. I was taking flats (which are shorter than my sub exposure setting) and had it set to high gain instead of StackPro. Sorry about that....
I am getting a 10-fold difference in darks on occasion, twice now. Same temperature (-15C), same duration (1280s), same stack size (40s), same...
I have checking the gain before every session lately. It has not happened lately so I assume it is resolved. Thanks for your help.
Thank you for this, and I admit I had not tried Band Reduction on this new data because it did not completely remove the bands on my previous...
Can someone please tell me if this level of banding is normal for this camera? I would also appreciate an answer about the acceptable level of...
I solved a couple of things: I am now able to set the Gain. The problem was my drivers that did not load properly. I figured out that te RDNOISE...
Colin, Any chance we could have a short conversation today?
Thx. BTW, I figured out with my BSI that you have to connect the camera for the change to take effect.
Here are the installed libraries... [ATTACH]
I am back at this observatory, and I took a pic (GSENSE cal off) ...these fields are not there so I don't know where they came from. I was hoping...
Thank you both for this info. I had done the USB « fix » but not the COM one. I will try this out.

Readout mode was High Gain, exposure 0.15 sec.
I have been struggling with calibration of this camera, and was finally making progress by lowering the gain from 1650 to 1500. However, while...
I have a similar issue with my AC4040BSI, which disconnects unexpectantly. At the beginning of the night, while taking short exposures for...
No. Don’t they come from Maxim, or the GSENSE Calibration? I did try GSENSE Cal. I would have to check.
Here is the link....
