Skynyx 2-2 and sharpcap

[coolstar]

I've dug out my two old skynyx 2-2 monochrome cams and decided to try them with sharpcap.  They're recognized but I CAN IT FIND THE EXPOSURE CONTROL!  

Hopefully this is a brain to keyboard error as everything else appears to work....

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks,

H

Hi H,

I have the industrial version of the Skynyx 2-2 but Lumenera don't specifically list (on their un-updated website) Sharpcap as a compatible software.  If you've not already done it you could check their website:  https://www.lumenera.com/media/wysiwyg/resources/documents/product_brochures/astro/lumenera-astro-camera-brochure.pdf

I use the camera just for very occasional Solar imaging with Lucam Recorder.  Unfortunately that software is no longer offered for sale and I've not been able to contact the author, Heiko Wilkens by email.  You may be able to get hold of him by other means as I can see Google hits for him for Facebook and Instagram, which I don't use.  I can also see websites offering Lucam recorder as a download but it did require licensing so I have my doubts about those sites.

I have a skynyx-Lumenera board level camera too, and I use Lucam but it only records on JPEGs as I don’t have a paid version. I’m pretty sure I have used it with Sharpcap though.
