Thank you Colin, got it! That's reassuring. Happy Christmas to you! stan
Hi Colin, I haven't used my STF 8300M for two years, it's been sitting in its case. I took it out today to test and it all appeared to work just...
Done. Please let me know if you haven't received it. Thanks, stan
Thanks, Colin, please forgive my ignorance. But in any case that was extraneous info. I checked every line in the Windows Device Manager and...
Forgot to mention, I checked the Device Manager and the camera is nowhere to be seen. I checked the COM 1 Port and it is "working properly."
Thanks, Colin. I had not checked the firmware through the Driver Checker. I just tried to do so and got the message: "Could not Establish a...
Thank you, Colin. I realized after reading your message that I have a cable to a scanner which fits the bill. So I tried connecting to each of...
Thanks, Colin, for your very quick reply. I don't have a Windows computer, I can ask some friends I guess. But the cable is more problematic--I...
Hi, I’ve recently begun having some serious problems with my STF 8300m. 1. Although it used to work fine, I’ve recently been unable to use it...
Thanks Don, Followed all the latest instructions but I can't seem to copy the 3 System/Library/Extensions files from the SBIGDriver to the...
Hi Don, Thank you so much for such a quick response. I agree that it is likely 10.15.5 which re-broke the driver access because I had previously...
Nope. Just got the same "Installation Failed" message on my iMac when I tried to install driver 4r84. Tried to run it in kStars anyway and am...
Very strange. The camera is now working fine in kStars under Mac OS 10.15.5 Last night the cooler didn't work well, kStars couldn't get a...
Yes, I normally run kStars on my Air. But for testing purposes, to reassure myself that I didn't have a hardware problem, I tested it with CCOps...
Thanks, Don, I thought there was a hardware problem with my camera, so I brought it home. I just tested it with my iMac in Windows using...
Well! My STF8300 stopped working reliably on my macBook Air, so I figured i'd test it on my iMac. So I went through the above procedure today,...
Hi Don, Just tested kStars with my STF-8300 after following your instructions. Worked like a charm! Thank you so much on behalf of all of us
Yup. That was it. SIP. But it's late now and I'll disable it and try again in the morning. Will report back. Thanks so much, Don. -stan
Many thanks again, Don. I just tried your workaround exactly as you said--sorry, I know more about astronomy than about MacOS. It wouldn't...
Oh,well. I actually use kStars (which I adore) and INDI without a StellarMate directly from my macBook Air to the scope, focuser and STF-8300M,...
