    Hello,

    This may be for Bill... I saw a similar thread from 4 years ago but not enough info there to diagnose my issue.

    I have an ST-2000XCM. Attached are 2x2 binned dark and image files from last night. Note the 19 rows at the top of the dark frame with zero count, and the black/white rows at the top of the M3 image.

    This is a new problem, did not exist my previous night out a week ago.

    I tried various MaxIM settings, turning the cooler off, disconnecting/reconnecting, completely powering off/on, no joy.

    The camera is of course not worth a lot these days, maybe $500, but is it salvagable for cheap?

    Thanks,

    Craig

    This looks like a hardware failure. @Bill can be reached by email: bill (at) sbig (dot) com
