Hey guys, I've sent this into SBIG when the change was happening (and my camera was still under warranty) but never received a reply back. Does anyone know what's going on with this 'effect'? It looks like banding of some type. It only happens sometimes and it will happen randomly throughout the night. Temperature doesn't seem to be a factor since I've seen in for at least 6 months now. Cabling also doesn't seem to be a factor since, like I said, I can have it appear one night, and not the next regardless of temperature. Keep in mind the camera isn't going through a hub besides the lengthy cable required to go from my computer to the camera itself. Of note, in the SBIG driver I have 'auto bias correction' enabled and 'asynchronous i/o' not enabled. Is that correct? I turned on logging just to see if there is something in there that might indicate the issue.
Dear Chris, I know the changes in contacts may have caused your email to be missed. Can you send a fits image to me until we open on Monday. Being an intermittent issue the team may have more questions. Thanks Tim
Chris, Just small note that all sbig cameras controlled via sbig driver use asynchronous i/o, so this checkbox has no meaning and is there from the older drivers. On the other hand, the second auto bias correction is active, of course. Thank you, Jan
Thanks Jan. It seems like a write error from the camera to the computer. I'm just not sure how to troubleshoot it.
