Hey Milton,

Thanks for the tip, I updated the firmware on the Chameleon and it works perfectly.

Just curious, I noticed an update for the Grasshopper camera also that addresses some of the heat issues.  I would like to update my firmware but I don’t seem to see how to do it using my MacBook.  I downloaded the firmware update on the Mac but wonder if you know how to update the camera?  It is a Firewire 800 camera and I cant plug it in to any of my PC’s to use FlyCap.

You also need to update the firmware too.

There original firmware (1.4.0) had bugs in it - I mentioned this in
the past (May 2011 correspondence with you) and I think this is also
the Astro IIDC Manual. The version you need is 1.4.3 or higher and is
available on the PGR Web sites download area.

HTH..
