Glad it is working now Ferris. That was a tricky little problem.

Zu den Sternen - like it but not with the weather here at the moment.

Hi Dave and Robin
sorry to bother you again. I do have an old MEADE Deep Sky Imager Pro that I would like to use with Sharpcap too. The original MEADE capture software called Envisage and the latest driver is on my trusted Elitebook. The Deep Sky Imager connects to the Laptop via USB but Sharpcap cannot detect the MEADE DSI. I have alredy downloaded the Sharpcap requiste 3.0. My "TheImagesource" camera is no problem. The MEADE DSI is shown in the devices manager but as I said, Sharpcap will not show this camera. Why is that ? Is it to old ?
regards
Ferris

Hi,

SharpCap has no direct support for Meade cameras - if you can find an ASCOM or DirectShow driver for the camera then you may get it to work that way. I have no idea if such drivers exist for that camera, sorry.

cheers,

Robin

Thank you very much Robin - this is what I found out on the net too. No problem - I will use this Envisage - if at all !
