    I have Maxim DL V 6.24 and the STX 16803.
    I have plugged the camera in via USB and am trying to set it up but I'm not seeing any Sbig USB camera listed in the selections..
    I've installed the driver checker and updated the drivers (it says).
    Reading through the instructions it mentions CCDOPS. Is that still used?
    I am also trying to get it to work with SkyX so I can do T-point.
    What selection should I be making when I set up Maxim and SkyX?

    Probably should say I'm using Win10

    Doing an internet search on my situation I feel better because this seems to be a common problem and you guys have several threads to refer to.
    I guess I'll go through all the questions already asked before I bug you guys any more.

    Where can I find a copy of CCDOPS?
    I did not get one with my camera

    I think I have it figured.
    The STX-16803 will work if I bring it to the warm room and plug directly in to the USB 3 plug on the computer, but If I try to make it work via my Icron 2304 USB extenders (via LAN cable) it will not work.
    Is it because the Icron units are only USB 2 ?
    Can the STX-16803 be made to work on USB 2?

    The STX-16803 is USB 2.0.

    Apparently your Icron isn't working for some reason. You might want to contact their technical support.

    So the 16803 will function over USB-2?

    Of course. It has a USB 2.0 interface.

    Amazing self-healing hardware!

    The only thing I did was change the USB cable that went from the computer to the Icron box in the warm room.
    It works perfectly fine now.
    Huzzah!

    Sometimes the USB cables get a little bit of oxidation or corrosion on the contacts. Toss the old cable in the electronics waste / recycling.
