It sort of works, I can't get the video controls working. Like to tinker with the exposure settings. Anyone else using this with or without success? PS this is the CCD camera not the Neximage 5.

Load your Neximage software on the virtual machine, connect the camera to it and image away. I did this for over a year with a Canon Rebel Xt (350D) camera that didn't have drivers available for Win7. It's an easy solution and XP Pro only cost me an additional $20 when buying the system.

I have the Lunar and Planetary version and it works fine on Vista and Win7.

Can you manually change the exposure, brightness and contrast settings? Perhaps you can post a screen shot of that screen?

Works fine, here. I capture video with wxAstroCapture.

Which driver are you using with the camera?

I'm using the drivers this page links to: http://www.astro.shoregalaxy.com/neximage_windows_7.htm Follow the instructions to a tee and it should work.

I can't seem to do that. Post Extras:       Pages: 1 Previous   Index   Next   Threaded   Extra information 9 registered and 23 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
