martin_h Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Finished the mosaic last night and it was still clear so went on to this, 6 x 20 min subs in Ha with the ED80 & reducer, QHY9 all on a NEQ6.THis may have been an image to far as the CCD packed up during this capture...oh well it was good while it lasted...

martin_h Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 Its a great image Martin, but bad news about the camera, is it completely dead?I think the peltier is caput, it went from -20 to +15 in 3 frames!Ive had a word with Bern at Modern Astro, he's going to have a word with Mr.QHY and I'm going to keep my fingers crossed.

Komet Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 I think the peltier is caput, it went from -20 to +15 in 3 frames!I bet its the control box. Mr QHY have some fun customer service. It wouldn't surprise me if as a stopgap measure to get you up and running again they tell you to get your soldering iron out whilst they send you a new box.Happened to me on an upgrade and all done via a chatline on the PC. Had me going again very quickly and a new DC102 arrived a few days later.Good I thought bearing in mind they are on the other side of the planet.
