Julien,
It doesn’t really match the manual, an error is indicated by one or two red flashes followed by yellow flash(es).

hi,
Changing the cable doesn't solve the problem. I tried to read the flash sequence, all in yellow : _ . _ . (short pause)? _ _ . _

Re: QSI 683-WSG won't start (yellow blinking led)
Julien,
You need to take note of the exact number of flashes for each colour.
I think you are reading that when performing a firmware update the yellow LED will flash.

Hi,
I have a QSI 683-WSG8 that I didn't used very much the last two years due to a new permanent setup. As I planned to build a new mobile setup, I decided to use it again. Every thing was working well the first time. But the second time (two days later), the camera emitted a bip on power on, followed by a sequence of yellow LED blinks. According the information I found this is related to a firmware update. But I haven't initiated any firmware update. So, could this be something else ?
I can see the camera in the Windows Device Manager, but I can't connect it.
Regards,
Julien

Re: QSI 683-WSG won't start (yellow blinking led)
I've
had some problems with my 683 that were related to a questionable USB cable. Or,
actually, a USB cable running next to the power supply.? I never had a
problem like that with my old 583 cameras.? I changed cables and the
problem went away.

Hello Bruce,
Very nice image of a not often photographed object!

Sh2-82, "Little Cocoon" nebula
This is an image of Sh2-82 in Sagitta, sometimes called the "Little Cocoon" nebula.? It is a combination emission and reflection nebula located about 3600 light-years away.? Its location in the sky places it in a very dense region of the Milky Way with an overwhelming number of field stars.? For that reason, I chose to suppress the field stars in order to focus attention on the nebula itself.? The image was captured during 4 nights in June 2023 under fair to average conditions. Image acquisition was done with a 12.5" PlaneWave scope and a QSI-640ws camera at f/8 for a final LHaRGB integration of 19.5 hours.
Thanks for looking,
Bruce W.

CEDIC Team goes Namibia - Part#11 (Nebulae in Oph)
Hello group,
‘Nebulae in Ophiuchus’ is the topic of part #11 of our image presentation, where we want to share the results from our astrophotography-trip to DeepSkySafaris in Namibia.
At the border between the constellations Ophiuchus and Scorpius we find a very well known and often photographed object complex: the Ophiuchus Molecular Cloud. It is one of the closest star forming regions with a distance of only 400 light years. The colorful region is known for its large number of reflection-, emission- and dark nebulae.
To conclude our series, we also show a Milky Way mosaic of 34 parts, made over 4 years in the northern and southern hemisphere by Bernhard Hubl.
Milky Way mosaic:

Important CEDIC conference news:
Save the date for CEDIC’24!
Location: Linz (Austria)
Date: March 22-24 2024
We are working on the agenda and have already secured some high-class speakers for CEDIC'24, including our key speaker Russell Croman.

Thanks, Geoff, absolutely gorgeous.
You must have very clear steady skies at your imaging location -
excellent contrast and tight small stars - wonderful :-)
Sadly always below my horizon, but for Skymap pro users, it's actually
shown on the chart as SL 17 complete with an outline.? So I've taken the
liberty of playing with your image and adding references in the Skymap
Quick Catalogue.? So attached are:
Your image rotated 90 deg clockwise to put North up, and named SL 17
A Quick Catalogue screenshot to show an approximate area of your image
(using a galaxy symbol for shape)
Your image overlaid on Skymap
A Quick Catalogue screenshot for the overlay.
Skymap users need to enter the appropriate Quick Catalogue parameters
manually using the entries shown on the screenshots.
Hope they are useful to some people.
Cheers,
Peter

Sh2-106, "hourglass" nebula
Sh2-106, the "hourglass" nebula, is a small emission nebula in Cygnus.? Because of its small size and dual-lobed shape, it looks like a planetary nebula.? But instead, it's an emission nebula driven by a massive, very young star in its center, hidden in amateur images by opaque dust.? In addition to ionizing the surrounding gas, the star also emits jets of ionized material from its poles, clearing out much of the gas in those areas to form the bipolar structure of the nebula.? Studies have shown the nebula is also host to several hundred brown dwarfs, protostars with too little mass to sustain nuclear fusion. The image was captured during 7 nights in June 2023 under fair to average conditions. Image acquisition was done with a 12.5" PlaneWave scope and a QSI-640ws camera at f/8 for a final LHaRGB integration of 21 hours.
Thanks for looking,
Bruce W.
