Problem:The strip towards the top right of the image is due to a read out error. These usually happen in the electronics of the instrument, but they can occur due to a software error as well.
|
Fix:The best fix is to retake the image. If the problem reoccurs, the advice of the technical personnel responsible for the health of the telescope to the astronomer would (very likely) be not to touch anything and to call them for assistance. |
