Teslar Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 So I've been puzzled a bit by this camera. On all the images I've seen there is a row of leds along the bottom edge like in this photo However on my camera there appear to be openings with LEDs in them but they never light up when I use the camera. Also just to be clear my camera is the colour version Can any other user of this camera verify if they have working LEDs on a colour camera ? There may be some differences between the one in the photo and the one I received because mine has a black body :notaclue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Just found this on http://qhyccd.com/ccdbbs/index.php?topic=2356.0 The led's are for guiding if you don't guide they won't come on. There are 4 colour Led's to indicate guiding pulse rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teslar Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Wow I asked the supplier and after faffing me around a bit they told me the LEDs were only on the original red body ones and that all new stock was black body and had NO LEDs fitted. I wasn't too happy with that reply which is why I asked for help. The initial response was if the camera works why worry...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teslar Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 Hmmm that's odd several peeps have said they work when guiding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philjay Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Nope, not a peep, I'm pleased actually cos the observatory looks like Oxford Street at Christmas time with all the green and red LEDs from cameras, mounts, drives, PSUs etc I did think it's a way of telling if the camera is working but then you wouldn't see owt on screen if it wasn't so they are a little redundant that way I spose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
