Ok, thanks for letting us know. I'll mark this as resolved, and we can reopen if there is something else.
Interesting false colour image.
Ok, thanks for the feedback. @Brian will have to look at this when he's back on Monday.
Last thing: If you launch SBIG Driver Checker, can you confirm that it has sbigudrv.dll 4.99 build 7, and not something else like 5.0.2.0.
I should add it might be a good idea to run the CCDOps exerciser function on the AO-X to make sure it is moving in both axes properly. The Y side...
That makes me suspect a configuration or hardware issue. Does regular guiding move properly in Y+/- (normally that's declination) ? e.g. if you...
Mike, take a look at the patch Brian upload at the end of this thread. I forgot he was off this week, so had to track this down....
It works like this: The image focal plane forms a certain distance from a reference point on the telescope. This is the "focal plane distance" or...
Hi Mike, I'm going to ask @Brian Brown to chime in - he has been tweaking AO operation a bit. The scope's an ACF, right?
Hi Ian, I'm going to ask @Doug to take a look at your latest post.
Hi Greg, I'm sorry that I don't know the answer on that one. Perhaps someone else can chime in. I do know some folks have used a dilute vinegar...
Tim, that looks really good - for 30 minutes, that's pretty amazing. Gotta like this camera! You do such great work.
Ok, you'll need to talk to Bill.
BTW it's easier to check the shutter if you select a Luminance (clear) filter in the filter wheel - they you can probably actually see the CCD...
Dan, that's a 600 second dark frame, and is totally saturated (white) with ADU level 65535. Any chance your shutter isn't working? Have you had a...
Do you mean the ADU count values are ZERO 0 for all pixels? Or do you mean something else? Perhaps use [Upload a File] to attach a bias frame here...
Just as an FYI - the AO-8A has a flat piece of specialty glass - no curvature. @Doug has 3d printed a spacer here and some measurements are planned.
Are these unmounted glass filters? One side is usually shinier, and you want that side away from the sensor, or you may get reflections. If they...
One other thought: Does the STL think you are still using the External remote guide head? Or the Internal guide chip? e.g. It should be set to...
The reason I mention this: When the pick off mirror moves inward to the centre of the field, that increases the focal distance to the CMOS APS...
Separate names with a comma.
