Hello all,
My name is Fabio, astrophotographer from Brazil and I'm having trouble with my recently purchased ASI 290MC. The computer recognizes it and Firecapture also but does not have the image, a message says that the "recording failed" and there is no information about the histogram, temperature, USB port, nothing. I have already tested in several versions of Firecapture and the same appears. I tried to use Sharpcapture but the same problem happens, there is no image or information. The camera capture program itself does not work either. I'll send you the Firecapture log file:

I tried on another computer, tried different USB ports 2 and 3, changed the cables, updated all the softwares and drivers, tried reduce the USB trafic to minimum, tried different operating systems and nothing, always the same error appears. My other cameras work normally, I have an ASI 174MM and an ASI 290MM. Any idea what that might be? Was the camera defective?
Best regards,
Fabio
