    Initially received a power supply with my new Aluma 3200 that failed at the connector from the power supply to the extension cable. The replacement appears to be starting to exhibit the same problem. On three recent nights, the camera has stopped. I have gone out to the observatory and lightly bent the cable near the connector joint between the power supply and the extension cable. The camera restarted and ran for the rest of the night! This is exactly what happened with the first power supply. I see no posts about this but find it hard to believe that I am the only person this has happened to, since it has now happened with two units? Comments?

    Ken, can you take a photo of the setup?
    One of my colleagues @Tim will likely be in touch about this shortly.

    Ken, Tim is out of the office today. I expect he will be back Monday.
