hi all, just got myself an spc900nc and downloaded fire capture to use for planetary imaging.


 


my problem is when i launch fire capture i get a message box saying no camera connected.


 


ive tried the camera in sharpcap and i am getting an image so the camera IS working, but quality is pants.

hi Ben,


firecapture is a funny program as it doesn't install any files, you need to download the files and put them in a folder in c/ programs, if you open up the downloaded firecapture files in the new folder you will see alot of exe files, yellow ones that look like they have a picture of jupiter on. one of these says firecapture webcam, make a shortcut to your desktop, and click on it, with luck it should run your webcam. the other exe files are for different cameras.
