Ah, ok I could not tell if you had it set on max, sorry can’t be of more help, I havent been using APP for that long.... 👍😀

if you have not already...Increase the amount of RAM the software can use....there is an option for that....will that maybe help...👍

Not sure if this will help, but I had the same issues, but when I actually opened my APT software and select mount and then EQMOD driver it worked fine, but testing with just the EQASCOM it would not work, so open your imaging software of choice and select EQMOD Ascom driver and try that ... 👍😀

Mine shows up as two lines, one being a USB to serial converter....👍

If you already have an IR luminance filter, then that’s all you need, you can use that for focusing....no need for the extra clear filter... 👍😀

Stunning... 👍😀

Ok, used a wooden mallet and got it off....without any damage...thanks .... 👍😀

Ok, thanks will give it a try, it is very very tight....hope I don’t damage it... 😮😮

Handle came today they you linked me too, and no good, as it’s NOT adjustable so just wasted £20.... ☹️☹️

Many thanks for that...much appreciated.... 👍😀

Ah....superb... first of all the two M8 holes each side of the CW shaft...are they 35mm centres...? I know there are four holes around it, but I need it to connect to a dovetail bar with 35mm connection holes, so it’s the ones front and back I am concerned about....not the ones at the side.... Also how does the clamp mechanism work, as it’s hard to see on the picture, is the block that clamps against the dovetail shaped at an angle to grip it..? also is it spring loaded...?

Hi, Am looking for two solid quality Losmandy clamps for a dual side by side set up...these look very good, does anybody have one so can answer me a few questions.....? Thanks in advance

Thanks, your a star....ordered... 👍😀

Perfect, many thanks...so it shows as M8 but I assume they are ok with M6 bolts as my rings used M6..? 😀

Hello, Looking for one of these handles but can’t find it in the link you posted above....any ideas....or other suppliers you know of..?? Thanks

Well the USB 2 ASI120MC and MM, do NOT work with ekos as it’s no longer supported, there was a firmware fix, but even that did not work, ASI don’t even support that camera anymore, but i realise yours is the newer mini version, but again there are many people that have issues with that one too with ekos...Stellarmate and Astroberry....☹️

Relating to the subs timed out issue, Maybe the issue is with your hardwear and not the software as you have the same issue in different software set ups....just a thought....🤔🤔

Yes me too now...cheers... 👍😀

Am trying to get hold of some windows XP drivers for my SX MX7 colour camera, ☹️☹️

Hi, is it just me or is the starlight Xpress website not available, I can’t access, I keep getting a “forbidden” warning coming up... www.sxccd.com thanks..

I have these, they come with the much better mounts too, but like I say they are angled well down... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bracket-Weather-Protective-Adjustable-Security/dp/B07VDC5KW9/ref=asc_df_B07VDC5KW9/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=372465505664&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3335187366039013857&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9041125&hvtargid=pla-868213462687&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=79390522794&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=372465505664&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3335187366039013857&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9041125&hvtargid=pla-868213462687

The thing is with the blink cameras, is that they are completely wire free, run from batteries up to 2 years and connect to house Wi-Fi...and the cloud storage for files is free too... it if fitted indoors though, then I guess connecting with wires is not so much of an issue....👍

I have mine inside a light shade case, it stops the dew.... also they are angled well down as fitted 3/4 the way up the house....👍😀

I have four of the blink cameras all around my house...and do last a long time on batteries, but I use two of mine from USB as they are in high traffic areas...

I have also used a Philips SPC900 webcam in the past too, as it’s excellent in low light, that worked pretty well too...and cheap...👍😀
