Temperature control with SX-694

Post by Forum_2018 »

Before my temperature was like this: I set it -25 C and it ended to -20 C.
Figured it was a driver problem.
So downloaded latest camera plugin and also latest SP4 (for AA6).
Tested it indoors so set to -5 C and it ended going down to -11 C (before I stopped control).
Strange because with Nebulosity 4.1 in a same machine temperature is correct.
Any hints ?

Hello, assuming that you are using yet the plugin SXVH version 2.93 my only hints are:
1) Use the ASCOM plugin: www.daddog.com/ascom/sxcamera
2) Or .. ignore the problem and use the camera at maximum cooler, this will give the lowest noise, at the price of daily or stock dark frames.
