ACP has a facility to set the Readout Mode. There's a file for defining the readout modes that you want (RoModeInfo.txt), and there are...
Are there any "Unknown Device" or yellow warning signs in the Device Manager? /!\ Anything in the Windows Event Log - System log in an Error...
Understood. The SC-3 you have has a 4.8um pixel size. The old STX guider was 7.4um. Scale = ( 4.8 / 4200 ) * 206.26 = 0.24 arcseconds per...
You're chasing the seeing. Try bin 3x3 or 4x4 on the guider.
That's interesting. Let me see if I can reproduce that behaviour here.
I think that's a question for @Bob Denny - the camera readout mode selected which gain mode (high,low,hdr,StackPro).
You're going to need to experiment; I can't offer guidance as it is specific to your setup.
I have no way to estimate it - too many variables with the largest scope, high QE, and unknown sky conditions. You could always try 0.01 and see...
AC4040BSI. Try about 15-30%. eg 4095 is saturation in 12-bit High gain mode, so you want to be maybe around 1000 to start.
It very much depends on the quality of the dock. I have a JCreate unit that seems decent although I haven't tested it in cold weather.
The filter wheel is powered and controlled by the I2C AUX cable. The remote guide sensor is run by the HDMI cable to the Remote Guide Head port.
Hi Stu, my colleague @Tim can likely provide a replacement mirror or provide a part number. Mind my asking what happened?
N.I.N.A. supports the SBIG Universal Driver natively. No need for ASCOM. We did a 64-bit version of the driver for them and other vendors. When...
Most applications support the SBIG Universal Driver natively. The camera did not have an ASCOM driver. What software are you intending to use?
If you don't want to use the AC power supply for some reason, you will need to have someone make a cable for you. We no longer stock a 12V DC...
The camera has a Delta T of approximately 35C at sea level. So -15C is typical for ambient temperature of +20C. What's your ambient temperature...
$5 huh? Looks like unshielded junk from overseas. This is more the sort of thing:...
Ok, the STX Guider is 1.1 inch (28mm) thick, so you will need to add that to the calculation, a total of 95mm.
Clearly the evil elves are magically changing things at your site. A short (eg less than 3 feet), high quality HDMI cable should work fine. You...
