200mm Meade SCT x2.5 powermate Chameleon cam

 

A bit of a solar system day yesterday!

The new SSD  really zaps the rate rate up - 160fps on this one at 640 x 480 ROI

Yes new SSD

I put a new samsung 860 evo in the normal place and a M2PCI onto the motherboard- its a bit like a ram stick but you need the correct slot for it.

I have no buffering at full frame with the chameleon @ 58fps and with the ZWO I have been up to 160 fps on a 640 x 480 ROI.I think it said it would do 240 fps but I doubt it.

 

Before with the Chameleon I got 20/25 seconds of data before the buffering started and IIRC about 100fps with the ZWO

Steve have you connected the SSD to the M 2 PCI or are you running the M 2 PCI as a separate drive ???
