Alex,

Good you are getting further along- painting always seems to imply getting near the end.

I replaced ALL my cables before I got satisfactory connection. I'm now running USB3 for everything. Some of the gear is rated USB3, the rest 2.

I even had to source a couple of USB3 gender changers. If there is anything below the level of the rest in the line it will seriously degrade transmission.

Also, reliable USB 3 hubs, powered, and reliable extension USB cables, also powered, were necessary.

I still find that the Celestron focuser drops out occasionally, and I've had to give the Synscan Pro software maximum times for connection.

Having said that, with the new gaming computer being totally USB 3, speeds are amazing. My planetary camera could only get up to around 40 fps before and now routinely tops 130 fps
