while i wait for the weekend and the opportunity to bring the camera home to run more definitive tests i thought i would take stock of my troubleshooting. the best i can do is to get the camera working for about an hour before it freezes up and that can only be done by disconnecting the USB from either the camera end or the computer end. below is a list of things which, surprising to me, had no affect on it.
- replacing the USB cable
- connecting the camera directly to the computer, not via a hub
- turning off and on the camera
- un installing and re installing the driver
- ditto for the ASCOM driver
- ditto for EZcap
- restarting the computer (unbelievable i know ...)
to the limit of my knowledge of computers this makes absolutely no sense ... if anyone can tell me how an issue can persist after power cycles and driver installs but be temp fixed by unplugging the USB cable i am all ears
