Help with Svbony SV305

[mevilc]

Just receoved my Svbony SV305 and I am trying to capture in SharpCap in the daytime. No matter which setting I use I can't get any sort of image. Different shades of colour only on screen. If I put my hand in front of camera or put on lens cover the capture in Sharpcap goes dim/black. These are my settings

What are you using to form an image? To what optical device is it connected? 

Usually you'd use a telescope or a camera lens.

I firstly just connected it and didn't attach it to anything thinking I was some kind of webcam. I have now used my f/5 newtonian and have managed to get an image through the window. (Pouring with rain in Scotland).

So thank you for your help

Ah, OK.

It comes with a 1.25 to c-mount adapter. To use it as a webcam, just fit a c-mount lens and adjust the gain to ambient.
