Hey Massimo,

Massimo <mascosta@tiscali.it> wrote:any suggestion for this ST-4 behavior? After turned on and focused on a star, the display readout was 0 0 0 alternated with normal values. Obviously, calibrating and tracking didn't work... Once again at home, I checked the system and all seems to be OK. I also tried to modify the parameters (scintillation, ecc.), but that night my ST-4 didn't work. The night was, also, very very quiet...

 

This certainly sounds familiar and I'm pretty sure that in my case, it wasn't due to low voltage as I was running it at home from AC.

 

Try re-taking dark frames. Sometimes it takes several tries for whatever reason.
