LX mod completed now with the 4066. I won't post any circuit for the pin/pad 10 enable via 4066 switch since I have seen it has already been posted elsewhere.

It's been cloudy here in Melbourne so I am just looking at dark frames without any lens.

I don't really understand why I am not seeing any amp glow. I will attach a dark frame taken with 120 sec exp at 70% gain. Noise is clear but no amp glow.

I can't expose even 1 sec at 100% gain before noise appears (unless I lower the brightness in which case I just get less noise but still no amp glow even at 120 sec). This doesn't seem to agree with results posted elsewhere of 120 sec exp at 100% gain showing amp glow. Have I missed something? Here are the settings from WcCtrl:
