Hello!
Recently purchased a the 290mm through FLO in the UK and broke the astronomers curse by actually having a clear day to use it within the same week of purchase! Madness!
However whilst taking it for a test run on my Coronado Solarmax II 60 (BF10) I discovered that upon stacking and normal processing the sensor displays vertical bands every other pixel, they aren't solid, but it's as if the chip is reading every other column as darker on average.
This happens with or without gain, independent of number of frames stacked, or software used, attached is a "raw" image and one that's had levels and a sharpen applied. It shows faintly in the raw and obviously enhanced with the sharpen.
I have also attached one that's 5x zoom, just for clarity and detail.
I have checked all software/drivers, they're current and tried different USB ports with no change in results.
Any help with this matter will be greatly appreciated.
