[QUOTE=Merlin66;1062449]Guys,
Under SharpCap you seem to have full control of gain, brightness, contrast, and exposure control etc.
I assume the other webcam software does the same....[/QUOTE

Yep the software has the controls, but unless the driver interfaces with them
They will be greyed out and unusable.

The uvc drivers do give you some control but won't disable auto exposure
Which will (in the case of planetary) result in over exposure.

It will still work OK for lunar or any object that fills the frame.

Cheers,
