ASI128MC Pro installation problems

jrc

I have downloaded and installed everything I can get my hands on for the new ASI128MC Pro.

My computer is a Mac running High Sierra (10.13.1).

I am running Windows 10 Pro under Parallels Desktop 13 for Mac (latest updates)

I have a 12vdc supply connected to the camera.

I connected the camera to the computer via a powered USB 3.0 hub.

On the Mac side, I installed the INDI server and ZWO drivers and AstroImager. The camera is not detected by INDI.

On the Windows side, I installed the latest ASCOM and ZWO drivers. The camera is not showing up in the Devices list of Parallels.

The Mac and Windows have both been rebooted after installation of software. Still nothing.

I tried connecting the camera to Nebulosity 4 on the Mac side and it just crashes the app.

For what its worth, my other ATIK and DSLR cameras work.

John -

I have a similar set up to yours. I am able to connect to the '071PRO with Nebulosity version 4.1.7. I did not try AstroImager.

I have not had success with Parallels. I bit the bullet and bought a $200 mini PC running Win10 that sits outside on the mount and I use TeamViewer (free) to connect to the PC.

Good luck.

I discovered that my powered USB 3.0 hub had stopped delivering power to external devices. Keyboard was the only device that kept working.

The ASI128MC Pro works fine with SharpCap 3.0.

Can't get it to work with Nebulosity 4 in Windows 10 (error getting camera profile) or with Nebulosity 4 on the Mac (crashes the app).

No driver for Sequence Generator Pro.

sorry all

Mac and Linux user may need wait more time for INDI and other software to update to support our newest cameras

you can run it on windows

SGP can support 128 through ASCOM

jrc

I did get SGP to work after paying attention to the camera options and finding the right one.

I ran a few DARKS using SharpCap and SGP to see the difference. There are some settings that I have to get used to before I can know I'm comparing apples with apples.

Still not working with Nebulosity on both Mac and Windows.

you'd better use our ASCOM driver for DSO imaging

because ASCOM driver can take all the setting properly and you only need to adjust the gain

you can use nebulosity to control 128 though ASCOM too
