Doug I didnt realise the STX 16803 had an RBI issue. I imaged M42 last night followed by darks, and M42 was in the darks. I cannot seem to enable any sort of flushing in Maxim DL for this camera? regards Martin
ok thanks. Looks like the default settings were enabled, so why is there a residual image in the darks? Do I simply increase the RBI flush value and is the STX capable of being RBI flushed?
I've recently obtained data collected from an STX-16803 that's operated remotely via ACP. The FITS header reads READOUTM = 'Raw'. I've no idea whether RBI's been enabled and can't find any mention of 'Raw 'on what I presume to be the help page for this camera. If by chance some RBI mitigation is going on then there's no information in the header (as I suggested awhile back in this post for our observatory's FLI 16803). -Jesse
If I recall correctly, RBI mitigation is controlled by the Readout Mode. So if it's not showing in the FITS header READOUTM field it wasn't being done.
