See my response to Doug please Colin.
I understand very well Doug, that when the power draw is 100% that the system is basically not controlling. I did control engineering in my...
Hi again Colin, I have already seen the camera cooling shutdown issue when running the camera with TheSkyX, however, I have not run it long enough...
Thanks for that Colin. Yes SGPro does keep a log. I have looked at these before but didn't find anything terribly illuminating. However, I will...
I was monitoring the performance of my SBIG 16803 camera tonight, through Sequence Generator Pro. The ambient temperature has been steady at about...
Doug, the cooling fan is running all the time. I am generally easily able to achieve the set temperature, unless the ambient temperature goes over...
Colin, the green light remians illuminated all the time, indicating sufficient voltage. The Red LED is normally illuminated although I have also...
I'll checkthat the fan is working alright Doug, particularly if and when I get another of these drop outs. Thanks.
I'll check that out thanks Colin. The ambient temperature has been between 15C and 20C.
I bought a SBIG 16803 in mid 2019. You may recall the challenges I had early on with fan vibration. I replaced the fan and the camera has been...
Thanks Colin. Have you seen this issue before?
As a follow up, after using the desiccant to dry out the camera internals, the artefact was gone when I repeated the Flats. Also CCDOps tells me...
I have an SBIG 16803 attached to a C14 Edge HD. This morning I went to do Flats. I have a large Lightbox which I place on the ground alongside...
Thanks Doug, that seems sensible. I did commission a new Intel NUC to run the observatory in July. As I recall I downloaded the latest firmware...
Thanks Colin & Doug. Doug, I put two single FITS files into the 2021 folder. The Masters are in .XISF format as they were generated out of...
I have an SBIG 16803. I calibrate my images with Bias and Dark frames as one would expect. The Darks and Bias frames and the Masters produced...
Thanks Colin. I doubt scale will be an issue but algae will. What do you think of maintaining a low level of chlorine in the water as I suggested...
Thanks William, I greatly appreciate this advice. I had already bought 2 valves and two quick connect fittings, with the intention of attaching...
On the subject of camera cooling, of course, as soon as I said I haven't had to use the water cooling, we had a warm spell. In fact in the early...
Thanks Colin, I had found it when I went looking hard enough. But thanks for the confirmation of the validity of this approach. In fact after I...
