John,
Would you like me to test my SBIG STi CCD via my system?

I havent got around to plugging that in yet. My setup is currently on a test trolly while I try to get everything going again.
I believe it will behave like the Canon.

Danny it seems like the Orion deep sky ccd doesn't like being on a hub and neither does the dmk51. The serial adapters don't seem to mind it.
The SBig Sti might work. That's a great guide camera btw Danny.

I am in the process of building a mini itx pc which has more than adequate USB ports and can manage the devices. It's the sensible way to do this.

I will post some pics up when they become available.

John.

I have tested the SBIG STI on a Jaycar USB to RJ45 extender had problem with the film wear loading, has something to do with the driver the extender uses , but works well on their usb extender cables but the joiner booster in the middle of the 20 meter cable is not water proof and needs sealing.

Hi Brian,
the adapters I used were these:

and required no drivers, in fact they had no active components.
Cheers!
Danny

The version that you are using is USB 1.1 the one I was trying was USB 2 uses separate power supply and drivers , the STI needs USB 2 to run http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView...UBCATID=1044#6 and it doesent work with the sti

Guys, Just for a test,
I've just tested my SBIG-Sti CCD camera via the Jcar USB 1.1 Adapter http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=XC4884 (No drivers) with NO hub over 10 metres and it works a treat.
If I put a Hub on it, It fails, So I'll have to run another cable just for this camera, so - what's one more cable - I'll use the one that Brian suggested - I've got them spare.

(piky was in the process of re-cabling)

Grab an old laptop you are happy to leave outside.

I use a freeware app called "TeamViewer" to remote-control it. Works a dream from PC and iPad.
