Thanks!
Colin, one further question. If I go the route of SC3 + AO-X + 3rd party filter wheel and camera, what camera type settings would I use in...
Colin, thanks for the clarification. I never had a "plan" at this point. I just wanted to understand the options.
OK, so if I understand this correctly, with the addition of the USB to filter wheel adapter and the guider connected to the AO-X through the...
This is interesting. Will this work with an integrated guider and filter wheel, ie. an FW8G-STXL? Currently the FW8G connects to the AO-X via...
For completeness I took this over to the house of a fellow imager. Using his computer, we checked the firmware and updated one file. The problem...
The problem first manifest with EXTREMELY dark but otherwise recognizable images. I've attached a 1200s exposure of NGC4631. After that, when I...
My STXL16200 has been working fine for several years. Last night all of the images were extremely dark with maximum pixel counts under 2000 and...
Thanks Doug. OPT had an "open box" Class 1 STXL-16200 at a good price so I picked it up. I hope that you'll continue to be able to service these...
I noticed that the web site for the STXL 16200 says that its sensor is obsolete and you're not restocking it. Does this mean the 16200 is...
Hey Doug, it's AOX170301
This is a follow-up to Steve's post. It's my unit. Initially we thought it was working OK because exercising X&Y at the same time produced a nice...
Got it. Thanks. Prior posts suggest that this may have happened to others as well. I'm just glad to have a solution. I know getting an off-axis...
Hi Doug, I'm fine with that, BUT I would suggest if that's the case then CCDOPS should not have that option, instructions on how to make the...
Thanks, Bill. The main imager may need resetting as well. I think I "defaulted" it when I was tweaking the guide imager.
OK, please keep me posted. Seems like there should be a way to set a value between default "0" and "255." The default offset on the main imaging...
I can't at the moment because, as mentioned above, my imaging camera has gone back to Bill Lynch for unrelated repairs. Prior to that, though, my...
The offset that is described above to the guide imager using CCDOPS.
Shortly after I made this post, the main imaging camera developed an unrelated shutter problem that seems to be a hardware/electronic issue, so...
To clarify the "stutter," when the shutter tries to move, either to cover or uncover the CCD, it rotates back and forth only a few degrees in both...
