Hi, Colin, This camera+FW continues to operate nicely. Both the FW looseness and the UPS partial failure were at fault here, and both effects...
On the first available on-site visit, I discovered 2 problems right away. The filter wheel had come somewhat loose on its center support. I...
Yes, Colin, according to the Invoice, that is the filter wheel serial number [scope is remote]. thx
I'm back to the popup error: "Error opening filter wheel Filter Wheel not connected." almost every time I try to connect to my...
Tonight, the next night, it's working. Nice, but puzzling. The filter wheel problem seems to start whenever I have to abort ACP during an...
Now this same camera is failing to connect on 50% of attempts, giving "Error initializing camera or filter wheel / Error opening filter wheel /...
No harm done, Colin, none at all. The New Mexico Skies tech team had loaned and installed a spare SBIG cable from a similar camera, so I simply...
Thanks for your very fast answer, Colin. No need to track down or send a cable--I have now acquired a name-brand replacement for much, much less...
Hello, I received my AC4040M camera+filter wheel+guider assembly back from service, and it is working well. Thanks. However, cable connecting the...
The filter wheel does show too much resistance at places in its rotation. I would like to have the camera sent to SBIG Service (from Mayhill, New...
I've just updated firmware, cycled camera power, rebooted PC. DL Config now shows AC4040M FPGA Rev 15. Attempting camera connect yields the same...
My AC4040M + filter wheel + guider has just begun throwing the popup message "Error opening filter wheel / Filter Wheel not connected." when I...
I've won somewhat more accurate AC4040M panel flats by inserting a 5-second delay between each flat exposure. This did require slightly modifying...
For my CCD camera, I needed 25 flats at 50% ADU level. Four minutes and done. But to equal that total ADU count with the AC4040M at 10% level,...

I have uploaded 3 example files. They may be downloaded directly from ericdose.com/SBIG/ MP_2356-0001-GG495.fts : ACP Subframe 0.95, severe...
When running ACP #Subframe directives, I get serious banding in my AC4040M FITS images. The banding immediately goes away when I remove the...
All ACP.
Thanks. The repeater is a Tripp-Lite, very unlikely to be a crappy one, but it is USB powered. And I've used only industrial StarTech USB hubs in...
Last night's log is attached--it shows five rogue disconnects, most of which I happened to witness (remotely). They all happened during rapid...
