First Light for ST2000

My SBIG ST2000 arrived two weeks before the Texas Star Party. Clouds at home site kept me from trying it out before the trip. But at the star party, I was able to capture some good images including this one of Omega Centauri. Telescope/mount setup is a TV102 on a Losmandy G11. Everything seems to work well except CCDOps does not drive my mount in the -y direction. (+/-x and +y work fine, and the hand controller drives in each direction. I think I must have a wiring/cabling mismatch. Any thoughts?

Congratulations on your new camera! I'm having a blast with mine. From the image I can tell everything's working fine. However, I think you clipped the highlights and the dark areas too much and lost detail because of the high contrast. I bet there's a lot more data in the raw images.

As far as the Losmandy mount, I read somewhere that they might require mechanical relays to work with the SBIG cameras. Are you using them?

Best,
