I firstly just connected it and didn't attach it to anything thinking I was some kind of webcam. I have now used my f/5 newtonian and have managed to get an image through the window. (Pouring with rain in Scotland).

So thank you for your help

Just receoved my Svbony SV305 and I am trying to capture in SharpCap in the daytime. No matter which setting I use I can't get any sort of image. Different shades of colour only on screen. If I put my hand in front of camera or put on lens cover the capture in Sharpcap goes dim/black. These are my settings

Hi all. I know this thread is a little old but just bought the AZ-GTI. I'm having issues not with the goto (not tried that yet) but just with tracking. I'm running the mount in AZ mode. My coordinates are accurate. I can centre on a star & the drift is crazy. I'm using sidereal but within 10 seconds, the star has drifted out of view, the drift (star) is to the left & up. I've tried sidereal, 0.75, 0.5, 0.25, all the way down but I can't keep the star centred for anything other than a 2nd or 2. I've also tried with the encoders on & off - same issue. Should I be able to  just manually point at a star, engage sidereal tracking & then stay centred - even for 20-30 seconds?

Granted, I haven't done North/level but thought that would only be needed for Goto?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Have you done your 2 star alignment? If you haven't I don't think the mount will be able to track properly as it won't know where in the sky it is pointing
