Robin, to answer your question, yes. I have used USB TreeView and on at least one occasion have observed a bad USB3 cable show up as USB 2 connection. I highly recommend USB TreeView (freeware) to diagnose any and all USB connectivity issues. Yes I realize I failed to follow my own advice at first w...

(This is what I call the Home position - Very nearly Polar Aligned but not quite there...) Home position in astro speak has nothing to do with polar alignment... When we say home position this is when we hit the home command and then the scope/mount moves the predetermined "home" position....

Was it just me - but when I clicked on SharpCapInstall-4.1.11961.0 instead of updating my installation I got a Repair or Unistall dialog box - instead of the usual Install.

I can hardly wait for you and Robin to get it smoothed out and ready for action. I will be thanking you again after the eclipse I am sure!!!

FYI: CPWI is a combo program and driver. To utilize CPWI the program must be up and running and left running in the background. Once it is up and running your mount can be controlled simultaneously by any planetarium program (Starry Night, Stellarium, Sky Charts (Cartes du Ciel)) and SharpCap and gu...
