One of the FLI cameras seems to work fine, I can get bias, dark and light frames out of it and control the cooler. The other FLI worked fine once out of the dozen or so times I tried to get it to connect and an the final attempt I got an electric shock from the case. Going to call that one "not working". They are both very old MicroLine ML50100's.
I can't do anything with the ZWO camera until I've found the right cable and power supply for it.
The temptation to take any of these home to take pretty pictures with them is actually minimal, because I don't have any way of mounting them on my crappy telescope.
