I will switch over to one of my other cameras for testing tonight. If all ok tonight I will have to make a quick decision, as I am suppose to be going to Astrofest in less than three weeks - not enough time for ZWO to turn it around I fear.

Bit short notice for ZWO given the astrofest is coming fast. Meanwhile you can discharge any nasties by keeping a hand on your mount tripod prior to touching the focuser or any other part of your telescope.
