I am looking at connecting an AO-X to a TEC reducer/flattener, and Precise Parts says it can't make an adapter from the TEC reducer to an AO-X...
Thanks Doug for the links. Does the AO-X unit work with Sequence Generator Pro or NINA, with PHD2 for guiding?
It appears the official announcement for the AC455 has been delayed several weeks. May want to remove or change the "coming soon" announcement...
I put on the missing washer and a new O-Ring, then used CCDOps to take 1,500 pictures and had NO errors. Yea!!! Thanks again @Doug and @Tim.
Thanks @Doug and @Tim. Great service. The order arrives Monday.
@Tim, EXCELLENT! Just the info I needed. Thanks! I'm missing the Washer (51413) on the bottom which is hopefully why the wheel wobbles. Do...
Tim, The first picture is a closeup of the BOTTOM of the shutter, including the bolt, ball bearing device, and washer that go in the middle of...
Here's the bottom of the shutter from my STXL-16200. When I loosened the top bolt and remove the shutter, these two pieces came out. There were...
The Shutter Error has been going on for a couple years but is getting a lot worse. It used to happen once every couple weeks, maybe? Now it's up...
I have one of the earlier STXT-16200 cameras and sometimes get a Shutter Error - it happens in CCDOPS and Sequence Generator Pro. When it...
I used a piece of thin cardboard I slid in-between rows and columns of heat sink pins, combined with compressed air, to clean the pins in my...

Hi, I thought I heard a while ago that SBIG was coming out with an imx455-based camera. Is that true, and if so, when? I'm looking for a...
Colin, Thanks, that clarifies things. Looking more closely at the manual, with cover for the camera (first diagram above) is taller than the red...
Colin, I don't think that matters. Whether or not a filter wheel has a filter in it doesn't change the physical depth of the filter wheel. And I...
Per the STXL manual (revision 1.3, December 2012), the optical backfocus of the camera is 24.33 mm to the front of the camera (with no adapter)....
@Doug, I added a "Single Dark Frame". I have newer darks and regularly take them. I looked for two images using the same dark master that were...
I uploaded the dark and flat masters which were used by both frames. https://eccssw.com/AstroIssues/Noise/ If it makes any difference, the sensor...
Interesting. Must be different browsers since I could right click and download it. Regardless, I added a MIME type for fits to the server. When...
