Got everything connected and working but there was a lot of distortion with the StellaCam3 camera. Bright bands flickering and rolling up the screen. These bands were as bright as the star! The entire screen was fading and brightening at a slow frequency. On the tiny display on the camera, I could not clearly see the star in the non-integrated mode.
Seemed strange to me with such a bright target star... Despite fiddling with the Gain and the Gamma.
I wasn't too upset. I was off the path. It was a low probability event. It was treating the evening as a test. But still, it was a little discouraging to see such poor quality. And the distortion, wherever it is coming from, needs to be identified. This was the worst I had seen.
