Controlling your camera through ASCOM

ASCOM is a standard platform for astronomy software, many astronomy

imaging programs support ASCOM. When you want to use ASCOM to

control the camera, the ASCOM Platform(6.2 or newer) must first be

installed. After you have installed the ASCOM Platform, you may then

install the ASI Camera ASCOM driver.

There are two ASI cameras that can be chosen in setup dialog. Please

select “ASI Camera(1)”for main camera and “ASI Camera(2)”for guide

camera, if you need to control two ASI cameras simultaneously for

imaging and guiding.

For a single-camera setup, you can just use “ASI Camera(1)”to setup

your ASI camera.

In the ASCOM settings dialog, we provide 3 different gain and offset

settings for DSO imaging:

Highest Dynamic Range and Unity Gain and Lowest Read Noise

You can add own presets if you wish as well (select the “…” option):

You can select a predefined setting depending on your conditions.

Then press “Set”button to apply the preset and press “OK”to save the

settings.

The Highest Dynamic Range setting gives better results with longer

exposures, as well as with brighter (light polluted) skies. This setting

avoids saturated stars, provides good SNR and very low read noise.

If you preferred shorter exposures with the lowest possible read noise,

for narrow band imaging and play “lucky imaging” techniques, or because

of mount tracking limitations, we recommend the Lowest Read Noise

setting.

Trouble shooting problems with your ASI camera

Q: Why is my camera cooler not working?

A: Please check and verify that a 12V DC power cable is connected and

the red LED is on. This power cable may come from an AC-DC adapter, or

a 9V-15V battery, and the connector must be a 2.1x5.5mm center

positive standard.

The red LED indicates that the external power supply works.

The fan will only be running when you enable the camera cooler in

compatible software. The fan will not run when the cooler is not powered

and running.

Q: Why is the preview screen completely white but the FPS appears to be

normal? (in SharpCap)

A: If you can see the fps meter in SharpCap change over time, then the

camera is most likely operating correctly. This issue may occur because

the camera is overexposing. You must reduce the exposure setting or

reduce the gain setting, until you can see the image from the camera.
