The crash always came as the camera was imaging, say 4-5 images then an error message (406) and crash. I just gave up Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:00:40 GMT rich.shippee http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Orion_StarShoot/message/10924 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/Orion_StarShoot/message/10924 With the starshoot 2 and nebulosity you have to pick the camera as an ASCOM camera.
