Re: USB and cold weather
I do not use video for sure. Not with this camera. 3 seconds on USB2?
Interestingly I have an Icron Ranger 2304 which is a USB 2.0 over Cat5e which was allowing me to run long ethernet cable out

I think you only need the Pegasus powered hub on the scope.

Re: USB and cold weather
You may not love this solution, but if you downgrade the USB cable from the PC to the mount from a USB3 to a USB2 cable then it will likely solve your problem. Or the cable from the mount to the hub.

Re: USB and cold weather
The mount adds 18 inches of cable plus two connectors, which may be a problem for your camera. The USB3 signal from your camera is probably too weak to pass thru the extra length and connections. It

Re: USB and cold weather
This is the hub I am using. https://www.startech.com/en-us/cards-adapters/st4300usbm It claims it can go down to 32F as well. I'll check out the pegasus astro product. I still find it weird though

Re: USB and cold weather
Are you using AC power with an AC-DC adapter or are you using DC power for the hub, etc? If the former, no big deal. If the latter, what battery?

Re: USB and cold weather

Problem could be related to the cables or the hub. Most consumer/commercial electronics is rated to around 32F(0Celcius). That is not to say that the device will work reliably down to that

Re: USB and cold weather
It could potentially be a cable or connector issue. As it gets colder, cables get stiffer which puts more stress on the connectors when things move.

Re: APCC Pro version update
Do you have a domain name and port I can try to access?

Re: APCC Pro version update
I think we need to concentrate on Windows settings because this is almost certainly not an APCC issue since APCC is able to reach the server via your laptop.
Two more things to look into:

My workaround is to wait for Ray to announce updates here and then I update. Thanks Ray!
I'm really not a Windows person and even with a brand new laptop, it exhibited the same behavior. I didn't want

Re: APCC Pro version update
Hi Greg,
As I pointed out before, turning the firewall off doesn't always solve the problem. You could be running a Windows update that is blocking APCC, or maybe there is a bad device driver on
