    Hi,
    I have Sbig STT3200 camera with filter wheel and AO. There seems to be an issue with darks/bias. When I expose these frame types , the downloaded frame has no signal. With darks I do see the exposure countdown being updated; but images have no signal.

    Flats and lights are ok.

    I use Maxim 6.29 as imaginf software.

    Thanks Stefano.

    All three images are completely saturated at 65,535. I suspect that something has failed.

    @Bill at SBIG Service & Repair may be able to help you with that.

    @Bill Sage says otherwise so I just physically checked the inventory. We have no STT digital cards, but we do still have ample analog cards and CCD socket cards. So this might be repairable.

    So should I send the camera to Bill?

    That is your best bet, yes.
