Thanks, Tim. Very helpful!
Agreed, it is not sitting flat. Point of clarification: There is no second filter wheel having the same problem. This is 2 of 2 filter wheels...
Hi Tim: I too would think it is not actually sitting properly, but it is as flush as it can be. I actually said in my post that the FW is...
161104 = serial number The FW does not spin 100% freely when the motor driver is pulled away. The optical sensor is in contact with the FW and...
Hi Doug.... Since your last post I've tried to find some level of repeatability--I have not. The FW fails apparently randomly. I don't know the...
I'm working with a new (3 mos) filter wheel which seems to be failing. The issue: it fails to go to filter positions accurately. When testing...
Thanks for the insight. We'll use that after baking the "new" plug. The current plug, from a new camera, has been in for 2 weeks.
Since we don't have an oven on site we took the plug from a new camera...evidently that plug needs to be recharged too. We'll take them both...
Please take a look at these two FITs files. One taken right after the other. Notice the black dots on the lower half of the screen. If...
May have solved with one with a replacement power cord! According the the error code the camera is "not found" so that (hopefully) meant either...
This camera has apparently failed, or is in the process of failing. Overnight it quit responding to ACP commands and the entire system hung and...
Thanks, Marcus... As it turns out I have a "spare" 16803 ;-) I can swap the plugs and deliver the offending one into the oven. Take care.
Hi Doug... I doubt it's fogged. The RC Optical TIM manages the mirror temps just above ambient. The last time I saw this a couple of weeks ago...
[ATTACH] Doug, The above is a snip of frame taken on STX16803 last night. I'm not worried about the obvious tracking issues which is caused by...
The last patch I put on is referenced here: http://forum.diffractionlimited.com/threads/can-not-calibrate-ao-x.2409/#post-16113 Towards the end...
Hi Doug...has anyone taken a look at this yet? I've posted a screen video which shows the behavior. If it's not perfectly clear what is...
Agreed...not the camera. A fluke in the first slew of the night.
Yep...have a rotator. Can't imagine why ACP would start an exposure before rotation was completed. It calibrates away and only happened this one...
I can't see the 2nd circle for the life of me, but my imaging partner sees it too. A very strange situation indeed...
This happened on the first frame of a series. Any ideas? The only thing I can figure is the image started before the slew and before the...
