Guys - any advice please? STX guider still under warranty.
Took a dark and a light frame of 1 sec duration - adu the same and image the same. so this must be a clue - I disconnected the HDMI cable...
I cannot interrogate the guider in ccdops either. I can switch to it, and I can take images and hear the shutter actuate, but the readout is the...
Yes, operating correctly. I visually watched it open and close. I took some images while shining a light down the baffle and you would expect it...
Camera now reassembled. I am getting around 800 ADU whether I bin the guider 2x2 or not. After dark subtraction, around 100 ADU. Also, suddenly...
FIT image attached. The HDMI sockets seem very firm and I can hear the shutter operating correctly. As you can see there is 'data' there i.e it...
I removed the shutter assembly and found where the motor is supposed to attach to the shutter chassis. Two screws, one was very loose, the other...
Will do. Can you confirm that the STX 16803 is to be configured as ‘dual,chip’ for the STX Guider to be recognised - and we are talking about the...
Its more like a dark frame with speckles. I have changed the HDMI cable, and unplugged/replugged. As I said, working fine for weeks. I will...
Yes this is all very familiar to me Colin. As I said, it has been working for weeks, just failed tonight. It is not seen in CCDOPS.
I did not realise it was dual chip. I have been using it in TSX for several weeks (rather my customer has), but tonight no stars, just a blank...

Colin can you just confirm that on power up, the guider in the STX 16803 makes a rather loud rattling noise? Is this just initializing? If you...
Hi Colin my STX guider failed tonight. I am not getting completely black readout, as there does appear to be some noise/data there but no...
Colin- returning to this after a long period of cloudy skies. So I continue to get receive or transmission timeout, or ‘operating system error =...
Using The Sky X, manually driven, not under automation. No debug settings turned on. I have 3 x FW8Gs, the other 2 not doing this. In fact on...
Hi. This is an FW8G attached to an STXL16200. there is a 2-3 second delay between downloads on the guider but only with a sub-frame. Full...
This ST-i is about a year old. Works ok briefly but then ‘SBIG Driver Receive Timeout error = 30008’ To restore requires physical disconnect....
Whist this is no longer made it is new since it was purchased awhile ago but only now installed for a client because his scope was delayed due to...
Got an update for you that may help diagnose it. The system ran without a hitch last night. The solution was either using the DL2 driver or...
