To be clear and fair to SX I have always received exceptional service from Terry. In this instance Terry suggested the DIY approach to avoid the long lead times associated with shipping the camera to UK and back to US. He never denied me the option of not shipping the camera to him or returning the camera. Also note this is not really a repair but rather a change in settings. I was just not comfortable doing it. Clear skies...

Don, No. Decided to go with an Infinity mono for the club. Alex, It is a physical (very tiny) dial on the circuit board of the camera. Although I am very comfortable tinkering with electronics I am also aware how easy it is to break these. My concern was/is if due to my error I broke something how would it impact the warranty. Much easier to just return. Hiten

Don, I had the same issue with the Ultrastar Mono I had ordered for our club. It is a problem with an incorrect anti blooming setting in the camera. Terry advised me to open the camera and tweak it. But I was not comfortable doing that so I returned the camera. The second camera shipped in lieu had the same issue. Returned that one as well. Seems like a bad batch of cameras. Hiten

Jorman, Sorry to hear that you are disappointed. Also I am very sorry that the other thread devolved into a pointless argument. I always try to say things as I see them and be as helpful as I can be. I agree with most other comments on this thread. Also like Don I prefer to use my Lodestar X2C for live observing and it is incredibly fast but it is not a live imaging solution like the Infinity. I would recommend you give it a try. I have been imaging for a long time but the enjoyment I get from short exposure observing at the scope is quite different. Best, Hiten

EAA with ASI224 Camera - Very short exposure stacks
Images added to a gallery album owned by Astrojedi in Member's Album
Very short exposure (typically 15s -20s each) live stacks at the scope with ZWO's ASi224 color camera. No post processing. All images with either a 8" SCT @f3.3 - F4 or a 50mm guidescope (as noted) on an Alt Az mount. The very low read noise <1.5e and >75% QE of the camera allows for very short sub exposures and makes high resolution EAA possible even with low and mid range Alt Az mounts that are primarily meant for visual observing. See my thread on CN: http://www.cloudynights.com/topic/508613-new-camera-%E2%80%93-eaa-with-zwo-asi224-with-nexstar-8se/ -
