Altair Hypercam 183C No Image Displayed

[Neil Wilson]

Hi all,

I've just installed the latest 64bit version of this software on my imaging PC but cannot capture any images.

My equipment seems too connect OK. for example I can slew the mount and adjust the focuser but I just cannot display any images from my Hypercam 183C (V2)

I’ve tried adjusting the gain and exposure times but the preview screen is either white or black.

Any ideas?

best regards

Neil

Hi Neil,

Does the Image stay black when using Auto Stretch?

[Neil Wilson]

Hi Stefan,

The area of screen where I assume the image should be is always white regardless of whether the Auto Stretch is toggled.

I have only seen it black once.

Could you upload a screenshot including the image statistics?

Just managed to get a black screen. Pressing the Auto Stretch turns it white.

1.10 has a scaling option so it will behave similar to other software by bit shifting the raw data to 16 bit.
