struggling with getting anything from ASI120MM

hudson2212

I cannot get any image through my ASI120MM through my C11 Edge. I am not sure if something is set incorrectly but I cannot find any combination of settings in Firecapture that results in anything but a blank screen (or tons of noise if I crank the gain all the way up) I have tried getting the camera running sitting on my desk with just the 180 degree lens in it and I can get an image (although not a great one) but I cannot get anything through my scope.

I tried the firmware upgrader (it is current) and pulled the drivers and reinstalled, but I feel like I am missing something. I bumped up to Firecapture 2.4 to see if that helped, and still I get nothing.

I appreciate any tip or suggestions that can be offered, I got this camera a while ago and due to work and weather have only now gotten a chance to really try to get it to work. So far I have had nothing but disappointment.

Thanks for any help.

you must missed the target

please use moon for your first target or try your scope at daytime

it usually hard to find a small target at night

Sam,

Thanks for the response. You are correct, I was having aiming issues. I over estimated the field of view for the sensor and it seemed like I was scanning quite a bit over without finding anything. I definitely need a lot more practice with this camera.
