......SPC900 Planetary webcam this morning!!! thank you tony it was a pleasure dealing with you

Ive loaded up the driver disk that came with the SPC900 but then i thought i dont even need it do i? as i will be running the SPC900 from Sharpcap right...

Looks like i will have lots of experimenting to do with all the MASS of setting lool

It all looks over my head at present but im hoping it will all click into place when i actually get a chance to use it on a clear night, tonight it does not look like that night! lol i can not even see sky at the moment, just tried plugging the SCP900 to have a quick day test but i could not get any image coming through? i removed the IR filter but made no difference, ill just wait till night time to test out and start learning

This is just a pre topic really as im sure i will have lots of questions when i actually get a clear night when ever that will be
