I can select live video mode and see the popup box from Kstars. The image space is all black. I assumed it was not working until I targeted the moon and that shows the moon as a bright disk in the image area - so it is working, of sorts.

I certainly don't see any stars at any point, which others seem to use to do a rough focus ahead of using the autofocus routine.

Is this related to the Framerate ? I tried pushing it to either end of it's range to no effect. I read the documentation but didn't see a reference to this.

Could anyone explain the framerate function and how it affects the seeing of stars, if it has any relevance please ? Or am I looking in the wrong direction

Thanks

I have never used Live video, but looking at the Sliders next to the "Frames" both appear to be set to zero. Are these image sliders or something else?

I usually associated slider to min and max image intensity purposes.

Hi Malcolm
The sliders are to pan left/right or up/down to centre the image.
Hovering over them gives a message about their use.
