    Dear SBIG Team,

    we own an STF-8300C camera, connected via USB port. The SkyX (latest build) is used for controlling our observatory.

    1. However, we are not sure, if we use the latest drivers. Alas the DriverChecker always reports, the SBIG servers could not be reached. There is no proxy installed direct connection to the internet is allowed!
      • What protocol is used (ftp)?
      • What’s the download server name?
      • Are there any connection logs available?

    2. In The SkyX choosing the camera STF-8300 didn’t work, but “SBIG with AO …” seems to work
    • Is this the correct setup with support for all features of the STF-8300C?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Many thanks and best regards

    Lars

    Simple workaround: instead of using the download feature, simply download and install the latest version of SBIG Driver Checker. It has all the updated drivers included.
