ASI294MC Pro - Whats happened ?

timetofly06

Hi all !

Just installed my new camera ASI294MC Pro. I tried to run a dark session inside my home as the weather is just awful ...
Backfocus is ok (55mm). Mounted with Badder MPPC coma corrector and Altair Quadband OSC filter.
I didn't do any focus of course as I'm inside my home. Just set the telescope hood to run darks.

First picture : Gain is 0, Temperature : 0. Exposure : 10 seconds
Second picture :: Gain is 0, Temperature : 0. Exposure !30 seconds
Last picture : last try, changing eyepiece holder value.

All pictures have a big red halo ... ☹️ Please ZWO folks, what's wrong with it ?

I answer to myself: even with the telescope cover, there was a little light passing through 😅
Beginner's mistake ... Morality: doing your darks really in the dark ! 😄

Try doing your darks with the camera off the scope and covered with the plastic cap. I had a similar issue with a camera and taking the camera off and covering the lens solved my issue.
