Hi Chris,

Using the default Toucam control sliders (and the SPC900 later model)
can be a pain in the ... without knowing exact values for the settings
that you can write down and repeat another time.

I use a great program from Martin Burri called WcCtrl:
http://www.burri-web.org/bm98/soft/wcctrl/

It runs in tandem with K3ccdtools and is basically a settings uploader
and saver/ driver utility.
It makes all of your camera settings numeric sliders and you can save
settings in 'slots', such as 'good moon settings', Jupiter with 3x barlow etc.

I can't get it to work reliably though in a Windows ME platform, but it works
fine on XP.

I will trawl through some of my better results and suggest some slider settings that work for me in a later post.

regards,
Steve B.
