Yikes, my Quark has flu! - Nov 22, 2015

[Drop Of Sun]

Hi Everyone,

Yikes, my Quark is broken! I tried it on Saturday, and it showed a view that looked very white light-esque! Could the heating element be broken? LED comes on and goes green. Same white light style view on all tunings and with a different power supply and cable tried. It's less than a year old so it must go back to Quark hospital. Pretty useless to me for white light when I have three Herschel wedges!   

Anyway, this gave me an excuse to image with my wife's Quark. I don't know if tuning is perfect or not, I used what my wife has been using.

I actually have another backup Quark too, thogh not quite as good as the one that has flu. Hurry back home for Christmas, Quark 2!!!

Thanks for looking.

I'm glad I bought from a good retailer, SCS Astro, you never know when things can go wrong!

Lovely images, fabulous.  Very sorry your Quark is unwell and I wish it (his/her?)  a quick and full recovery.
