glad to hear that you have managed to get the camera running properly (and that it's not a recalled one). Hope you get some clear skies soon to put it to proper use!

cheers,

Robin

Thank you Robin! Me too! Clouds plague us in the winter here in Michigan!

Hello Chuck, Thanks again for your comments and dually noted! I have already unplugged everything so that only the camera is plugged into the usb hub. I need to see if I have a 15’ usb 3 cable and if I do I’ll be doing a test with that. Problem is I only have so much room and have to work within my...

Hello Chuck, Thank you for your response! So just to clarify a few things on my end to start, I’m somewhat simplified in the fact that I only have 1 cable going to my laptop and that is the USB3 repeater cable. I run all my cameras with a talent cell ion lithium battery. I’ve. Used this with my 294...

Hi, Everyone brings up good points. I suspect that it is power related. Try replacing the battery pack with a power supply that plugs into the mains, just for testing. I've got an old Atik 314E that requires a regulated 12VDC supply. I run it from a battery but I also use a 12V buck/boost regulator...

Hi, Chuck's points are all good, but I would add a couple of things... * Open the camera in SharpCap with <CTRL> pressed down - this will stop SharpCap from restoring any previous settings of the camera, which might help. * Check out the newly announced recall from ZWO relating to a bad batch of 26...

Hi Dale, I have a 2600MC, and it works with a much less powerful laptop than yours. (i5 cpu, 8GB RAM) So I would suspect your laptop is good. So, to do a proper diagnosis you will need to simplify your setup as much as possible. Don't worry, I'm not suggesting you have to run your setup simplified,...

Hello, I hope this is the right forum to post this. Before I explain my issue, I have been using SC for several years and I'm what I'd call pretty familiar with the software. I don't know everything but I've never had the issues I'm going to explain. I've had many problems with SC since I have upgra...
