EQ5/6/8 Mounts with ZWO Camera

#1

Post by roodyj »

I have recently received my ZWO1600mm cooled cam and would like to use it with SharpCap. Unfortunately, when I attempt to connect, I receive an error due to the mount I am using (hdx110, EQ8). The only ASCOM driver for this mount that I am able to find supports the EQ5/EQ6 also. Is there a way to use SharpCap with this mount or is it not possible even though using a ZWO camera?
Thank you,

Jim

Hi Jim,

which driver are you trying to use for the mount and what error do you get (share a screenshot and the SharpCap log).

I use an EQ6 using EQMOD and a 1600MM and have no problems connecting both.

cheers,

Robin
