Knighty - Yes thanks, I did look in the device manager but there is nothing thereCelestron AVX mount Celestron NexStar 8SE Baader 2' Clicklock SCT adapter Televue 2' ext tube No Barlow Celestron NexImage 5 Planetary Imaging Camera. I got to the point where iCap was recognising the camera. The camera came with iCap software, version 2.2, and installation proceeded without incident. I finally decided to replace my old Orion Starshoot with a nice new Neximage 5, and at the same time got a laptop sporting Windows 10.
Icap 2.4 Celestron Driver Issue Then
Either the cable, or worst case the camera itselfI remember reading a few forum posts on CN querying how to repair broken (hard-wired) USB cables with this camera back a few years now.I have had one of these inexpensive (~£9-) USB in-line voltage and current meters in my toolkit for a while now, it displays actual port voltage and current being drawn by the device in real time while passing data as well (on port 1) so that if the camera is plugged in and the meter shows no current then you can say the cable is broken or electronics defective, if current is drawn but no communication then the cable is fine and electronics defective etc.Has helped me diagnose problem USB cables in the observatory where I thought a powered hub was the problem so it paid for itself on first usage, since then it has been used to test and identify a faulty phone charger where it looked like an iPhone battery replacement was on the cards, handy gadget to have around. If I'm not mistaken, the fact that Windows doesn't see it at all means the hardware isn't working correctly. Atik's are solid, that's one brand I've learned to trust second hand.If it's a driver issue then the device should at least show up in device manager, but with the error saying it couldn't find drivers. Or I might just stick it in the bin.I didn't pay a huge amount for the camera, the guy just probably had it in a drawer for years and didn't realise it didn't work. Maybe I should learn from this and buy a better camera from a dealer? I was thinking of buying one of those multi purpose ZWO CMOS or QHY, or an old Atik 16/Titan camera anyway. I'll contact the guy I bought it off, but if he doesn't have it back I'll try selling it spare or repair for a fiver perhaps. I then did the RUN command, clicked on the icon and typed in HDWWIZ to add hardware manually but it couldn't recognise the camera.Thanks for your help guys- I'm starting to think there is a bad connection in the fixed lead or something.
