Agree, you are on the right track. In-camera stacking is really only useful for exposures on the order of minutes, not seconds. The point of it...
To set the sub-exposure time: (My example is for an STC-7, but you'd pick the AC4040 in the list). [ATTACH] So, if you've got a 30 second...
For the AC4040, and readout mode set to High Gain, the camera will saturate at somewhere around 3600 ADU out of 4095 (as it is 12-bit). With High...
Yes. The trick is to have enough stars to cover the whole field without them trailing due to tracking error. Hard to say. Try Multi-star guiding...
Hi Mike, Some quick comments: The M37 and Deneb are better than the prior images. [ATTACH] Above is from CCDInspector, including several of your...
This is wonderful news! I personally got the one last year, and the work is spectacular! I can't wait to see the latest edition. :)
Hello / Bonjour Noel, You could use these two parts: 40-12051-00 T-thread (M42) adapter -> ACC08 SC-2 to STL adapter -> STL 11000 The parts are...
Duplicate request.
We also received your message via the website. We don't have many parts for STL cameras. However, we're going to see if there is a way to use some...
I don't think that is the setup. The cable between camera and filter wheel is a DE9 cable that looks like a serial cable, but is not. It's the...
Typical for what I'm seeing from my own setup and other customers. The "SBIG Camera" is the AC4040 or any SBIG camera with a USB 3.0 interface...
No worries. Weather has been poor everywhere for weeks.
Serial Enumeration should be disabled for all COMx: ports, UNLESS you have an old-fashioned serial mouse attached to it. Serial Enumeration does a...
Hi Phil, I had a look around and fixed a couple issues, and upgraded the firmware to 14 again, and did some investigation. Thanks for making it...

Should not be an issue - the filter wheel is pretty robust, and is going to be in different orientations as it moves around the sky. You can...
You could name the in-between blank filters something like "B1" "B2"... Are you using spent-Uranium filters again?
Phil, would it be possible for one of us here to remote into your machine and have a look? That last screen shot is giving an error with the...
