Can not connect to ASI 1600MM-cooled w/ SGPro

bwallis

I am running SGPro on a Windows 7 laptop w/ USB 2.0 connecting to the ASI1600MM- cooled camera with 8 position Filter wheel .... I have gone thru the setup procedure a number of times and have no idea why I am not seeing the camera take Find and Focus Images or why commands to change the filter position show no movement of the filter wheel..... When I do a find and focus take one image command what I see appear on the screen is a small tiny image of M42 that occupies about 1/16 of the visible screen .... I get that result regardless of the setup.... lens open or lens closed... I'm lost at this point.... it seems like I've tried everything .... B Wallis

After a few more failed tries to make the connection,,,, and after a rereading of the SGPro Manual I saw a note about the ASI Camera not appearing in the camera menu that I had not loaded the proper ASCOM Drivers for the camera .... I found those drivers on the ZWO s/w support URL and loaded them

and then reran SGPro and the camera and the filter wheel did appear in the respective equipment window.... and after setting up SGPro the Find and Focus command did grab and display a real image.... so the problem was basically a beginners woes sort of issue B Wallis
