mickjackson Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 Yes. All seems ok in device manager.Not tried another cable as yet.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knobby Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 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 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey-T Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 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.DaveYou can see if its working indoors just by placing your hand over the end it should go dark / light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickjackson Posted May 3, 2015 Author Share Posted May 3, 2015 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knobby Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey-T Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Just shine a torch down it indoors with the gain turned up, if its capturing the screen should go white.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
