some brightness in the preview video without lens or telescope.

That’s all! You are ready to use your ASI camera to begin imaging the
night sky, including planetary objects as well as deep sky objects(DSO).

Controlling your camera through ASCOM
ASCOM is a standard platform for astronomy software, many astronomy
imaging programs support ASCOM. When you want to use ASCOM to
control the camera, the ASCOM Platform(6.2 or newer) must first be
installed. After you have installed the ASCOM Platform, you may then
install the ASI Camera ASCOM driver.
There are two ASI cameras that can be chosen in setup dialog. Please
select “ASI Camera(1)”for main camera and “ASI Camera(2)”for guide
camera, if you need to control two ASI cameras simultaneously for
imaging and guiding.
For a single-camera setup, you can just use “ASI Camera(1)”to setup
your ASI camera.
In the ASCOM settings dialog, we provide 3 different gain and offset
settings for DSO imaging:
Highest Dynamic Range and Unity Gain and Lowest Read Noise
You can add own presets if you wish as well (select the “…” option):
You can select a predefined setting depending on your conditions.
Then press “Set”button to apply the preset and press “OK”to save the
settings.
The Highest Dynamic Range setting gives better results with longer
exposures, as well as with brighter (light polluted) skies. This setting
avoids saturated stars, provides good SNR and very low read noise.
If you preferred shorter exposures with the lowest possible read noise,
for narrow band imaging and play “lucky imaging” techniques, or because
of mount tracking limitations, we recommend the Lowest Read Noise
setting.
Trouble shooting problems with your ASI camera
Q: Why is my camera cooler not working?
A: Please check and verify that a 12V DC power cable is connected and
the red LED is on. This power cable may come from an AC-DC adapter, or
a 9V-15V battery, and the connector must be a 2.1x5.5mm center
positive standard.
The red LED indicates that the external power supply works.
The fan will only be running when you enable the camera cooler in
compatible software. The fan will not run when the cooler is not powered
and running.
Q: Why is the preview screen completely white but the FPS appears to be
normal? (in SharpCap)
A: If you can see the fps meter in SharpCap change over time, then the
camera is most likely operating correctly. This issue may occur because
the camera is overexposing. You must reduce the exposure setting or
reduce the gain setting, until you can see the image from the camera.
