Hi,
I have an old ZWO ASI 120 MC, that I have had for about 5 years now. I have been very pleased with it, both as a planet/lunar camera and as a guide camera.
The past months, I am really not sure for exactly how long, PHD2 has periodically failed for no obvious reason.
But then the other night, I noticed, that the image suddenntly shifted horizontaly, as illustrated below:

I have searched here on this forum, cloudynights and many more places and found that many more has experienced the same. I have tried to update the firmware, update all ASCOM- and native drivers and software - I have also tried changing the USB cable, but nothing seems to resolve the issue. But nothing seems to help! So I have resigned and accepted, that this elder camera perhaps is outdated and will never function properly on Windows 10?
My question is then, if I buy a ASI 120 MM-mini, will I have the same issues? Is the ASI 120MM-mini identical with my old ASI 120 MC?
