nebulosity 4

[mark skelton]

I recently purchased/ downloaded the nebulosity 4 onto my laptop. when I connect to the camera (starlight xpress trius h-674) and then click on frame and focus I get black and wight lines going accross the screen, is this nromal? or there something I'm missing?

Obvious first question - have you powered the camera?

[Joel Shepherd]

What have you set the exposure time to? (I scared the daylights out of myself just last night when I clicked frame and focus and was greeted by an unfocusable wavy black and grey pattern instead of stars. Thought I might have somehow fried the camera before realizing I'd forgotten to set the exposure time and was therefore taking 0-length exposures. Whew.)

the cooling fans are on the focus was set to half a second  ( it was day light)

Half a second is probably to long, these cameras don't work to well in daylight.

Ok cheers for that, I've tried the camera with the software that came with it, it's ok but a bit fiddly to get on with so I'm trying nebulosity 4

Be aware that the trial version of Nebulosity places lines across the images, is this what you are seeing?

I've got the paid version, any way when I got target on the the screen the lines disappear   so I think I've got it sorted now
