Doug, is etloning a CCD specific issue, or do the new back illunimated CMOS chips have the same effect?
Mike here is another good read. The biggest thing I get out of it is that Etaloning is most apparent at wavelengths longer than 800nm. I too own...
Maxlm DL has a good online manual Kevin, and their guiding software also works great. This is what I am currently using.
Ok Kevin, To use PHD2 you must use SGP, the self guided feature won't be recognized by itself in PHD2. Why not use the skyX guider feature, I've...
Kevin, I used to run a FW8G-STT with SGP. From what I remember you must have SGP API guider selected in PHD.

Thanks Doug.
Doug can it be repaired in Ontario or does it have to get sent to Bill?
Doug the supplied M104 and 108 stacks are fully calibrated, so no the pattern doesn't disappear with dark subtraction. When I emailed Bill on this...
Doug, it doesn't look too promising. The new usb cable definitely solved all my connection/download issue but the ugly vertical bands are still...
