New to SharpCap and iOptron Cameras
Posted: Tue Aug 02, 2022 5:57 am
Good morning. I am an absolute novice here, so please forgive my naiveite...
I have begun dabbling in astrophotography and am having a bit of turmoil here. Mind you, I am not into deep space shots and the like. I'll subscribe to James Webb for such. I just want to enjoy my equipment. I have an Orion Mak-90, coupled with an Orion 45 degree diagonal and an Orion Ultrascopic three element Barlow coupled to an iOptron iE5100 digital camera. These are connected to an HP 17T running W10. I have both, Toupview and SharpCap 3.1/3.2. The later was recommended on a forum I was reading on Cloudy Skys' webpage.
While still learning Toupview, I acquired SharpCap as a next step, so to speak. My issue is SharpCap will not recognize the iE5100. Am I missing something? I can get video through Toupview, But not SharpCap. My goal here is to enjoy both, nite photography and landscape photography.
Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.
