Jason,

Thanks very much for your reply.

I have been using CCDStack to measure the star centroid ADU. I picked two stars, one bright, one dimmer on the photo and received the following:

Image File Imager1120-2.5 min unguided 2x2
centroid {X=903.9657, Y=482.3339}
FWHM 2.3
background 1,451.43
maximum 34,510
flux within halfMax 73,604

Image File Imager1120-2.5 min unguided 2x2
centroid {X=950.3286, Y=534.4593}
FWHM 5
background 1,446.66
maximum 65,535
flux within halfMax

So, I would say, yes, the stars have reached 65K adu in 2.5 min at 2x2. Am I making an error?

Thanks for the link to the CCDware calculator! I missed that one.

Peter
