Thanks, Alan. |
Oh good news Alan,
I knew it could possibly be the ECP/Bi directional PPort thing and
I just threw it in as a suggestion.
I have seen so many 'my mod doesn't work' threads on QCUIAG
that ended up being that, it's not funny
Glad it sorted, keep us posted how it goes.
Your post made me plug the poor old SPC SC2 back into the
focuser in what seems like years.
Maybe try cooling next, it sure does help drop the noise floor.
I'd try that even before the Amp-off mod because the amp glow
doesn't really affect exposures lower than 1 minute anyway even
with extreme stretching.
