Thanks Robin and Mark.

Now I have the full version of MaximDL widoze does not ask me if I want to let this program fiddle with my hard drives!

I may be imagining things but the options are different. There is now an option for a single slot (filter) to be recorded as group before the next filter exposures. It seemed to cycle completely through all selected filters taking one exposure per filter at a time.


The supplied USB leads by FLI are far too long. I was having an intermittent total hang on download of an image with MaximDL with the supplied 5M lead from computer to the PL16803 camera.

A USB hub and a short shielded (ferrite) cable fixed this annoying glitch.

I await clear skies to be tripped over by more problems.

At the moment we are taking darks at -35C. The Peltier power load is only about 90% at an ambient of just over 15C.

By the way 'we' refers to my dog and me he follows me and watches what I do. When ambient gets below about 8C he sensibly stays inside.
