Description

Testing new guider scope, looks that it works fine, the guiding is more precise - no doubts. Tried also to fix the gain's issue, re-installed SIPS and ASCOM's drivers - no positive results. Looks like the camera has lost the proper settings, the gain 300/offset 50 gives very thin histogram (looks like 0 gain) and a lot of noise. Each second dark has different brightness, the same - for the lights, it is clearly problem of the camera. Recently I noticed the significant drop in the cooler's capacity. It does not cool efficiently. I used to have the sensor's temperature drop 30C per minute - 70-90 % power- now it slowly cooling with 20-50% in 20 minutes. In my opinion, the camera is dying, loosing one function after another. Sad thing - it is only 3 years old...... Need to think about the replacement.
