    Hi,

    I just connected my Aluma 694 for the first time. I am connected to SkyX using Ascom driver. When I try a test image the shutter wouldn't open and I get a dark frame. I did ensure Light frames are selected as option in SkyX.

    Any suggestions pls?

    Thanks

    What is your camera's serial number?

    Have you attached any accessories to the camera?

    Hi Dough, the Aluma filter wheel was tightened a bit more and did not provide clearance for the shutter to open. The problem got resolved when I loosened the filter wheel a bit. This is a late 2018 model.

    Thanks

    The shutter should clear the filter wheel. It may need adjustment.
