I had the same issue at first as well. The camera *is* taking images though all pixels have a value ... 0 (i.e. zero!). For some reason the KStars FITS viewer displayes those as white...

Try to set the gain at 139 (so called unity gain) and offset to 21 and try again using exposure times of a few seconds when taking images of the sky. When I am focusing I set gain to 500 or higher to be able to take short exposures.

No sé, hombre. It is strange that you did get images before (even if they were white) but now not anymore. Please enable debug logging and post the logs here.

I see similar behavior with my 1600 and stellarmate. On many images, but not all, when I click stretch, the image goes from a pretty normal looking sub to a completely white screen. What's going on?
