ZWO ASI1174 up and connected - check my frame rates please?

So as a benchmark, USB was delivering 19 FPS at maximum resolution - and with drops writing to disk.  USB3 gives 160 FPS and no drops.  Go figure.....

With a few driver tweaks (i.e. USB chipset manufacturer drivers as opposed to the Microsoft generic ones) I am getting 169FPS at maximum resolution on the i5 machine with Windows 7 Pro x64.  So this seems to be a very fast camera.

Just a matter of giving it a test under the night sky.  Apologies for the cloud-out we expect the next few weeks after this purchase.....

I'm afraid I may have contributed to the excess cloud from my latest purchases - a lot of rain too...

It looks like there will be no opportunities this week by the looks of the weather forecast
