I have seen the calibration behavior you describe, but I haven't been able to force it consistently yet (there are times that I can calibrate in...
Fair enough. Must be a tough problem -- not easily replicated in vitro. I just figure the more we can help narrow it down, the better. Awaiting...
Experiments last night didn't reveal anything startling. Turning on or off autodark reduction did not have any obvious effect. 3x3 and 4x4...
Yes, my bad, it is an SC-4 and on a scope with a 2563mm focal length. In the video, binning is 2 (there are AOX calibration difficulties with...
AOX guiding in MDL 7.1.4 (Aluma 4040/AFW10/SG4) via a Paramount MX+ shows the guide star jumping infrequently, but randomly (see attached). The...
Yeah, does certainly sound like you have a very different issue, especially if it blows up in just a few frames. I'll keep an eye open for you on...
Joe, I’ve been studying your CCDAP log, etc. Nearly as I can tell, all your software and drivers are up to date, irrespective of the odd version...
As Colin notes, TSX is returning the CFITSIO error to CCDAP, but mostly likely passing it through from a hardware driver given the 33133 error...
Joe, Could you post your CCDAP log for the session in which you got this last error? - Rick
Marcus, Doug, Thank you very much for your comments. Marcus's experience sounds like a very plausible explanation for mine. I had noticed that...
Hi Joe, I've been monitoring your posts on the CCDAP and TSX forums and it looks like you're not finding much assistance yet. This forum seems as...
Thanks, Tim. I'm working on getting the camera to Bill now. - Rick
Well, bad news. After less than a month, the frosting is back. Attached is a flat frame taken about 5 minutes after the CCD reached a...
I'm not quite sure how to take that... :)
You could be right on the o-ring. Each time, I did remove it for baking, examined it carefully for cuts, flatness and dirt, as well as gave the...
Just a follow up on this thread. Three weeks ago, I performed a visual as suggested and verified moisture inside the CCD window. I then...
I'm running 2.51 (and everything else up to date). I've got no complaints. - Rick
Doug, et. al. I debated about whether I was exposing myself to personal abuse by bringing this up, but I think it's also important to clarify one...
X15060001 - Rick
Hmmm. Well, it's definitely frost -- I can see the crystals in the image, so that seems to pretty much rule out dew. I'll pull the camera first...
