Struggling to get anything outta my img132e.

Installed the driver and ezplanetary/firecap/webcam program pick it up and the light is on but I can get a picture up on anything so im guessing driver problems or the cam is stuffed (purchased 2nd hand).

Running windows 8 and 7.

Any suggestions pls guys ??

[mickjackson]

*cant get a picture up !!

Does it show up in device manager ? Have you tried different cables ,

[mickjackson]

Yes.

All seems ok in device manager.

Not tried another cable as yet..

[knobby]

do the programs recognize the camera, you might just need to adjust the gain or speed to show an image ?

How are you setting up ? is it attached to a scope , or just trying indoors ?

[Davey-T]

Firecapture should display the name of the camera, if it does try it on the Moon with Gain tuned up and slew the scope a bit you should find the edge to focus on.

You can see if its working indoors just by placing your hand over the end it should go dark / light

[mickjackson]

Trying indoors.

Watched a review/tutorial on youtube and he just points it at his book case to show you its working.

Just tried another cable.

Just the same...

[knobby]

if he pointed it at a book case it must have had some sort of lens on it , the img132 needs to be put in place of an eyepeice on the scope.

Turn the gain up and adjust speed until something shows

I cant choose *BG* for colour tho using the latest ezp, I have to go back to a version of ezp 3 before the newest.

Ill go try it on the moon and see what happens.

Thanx...

[knobby]

Fingers crossed

[Davey-T]

Just shine a torch down it indoors with the gain turned up, if its capturing the screen should go white.

[mickjackson]

Sorted.

Thanx guys.

Having to use an older version of ezp but its all good now.

Just been out and got the moon and jupiter up fine.

Thanx again...
