AST492

Of course you can install whatever software you prefer on the AST492: the camera and the filter

wheel have ASCOM drivers that can be used to interact from a different astrophotography tool.

Powering down the camera

WARNING: avoid powering down the camera by simply disconnecting power supply: your

camera has a true PC inside running Windows and, as any other PC, you should shut it down in

the correct way. After shut down the camera will disconnect from the remote desktop: wait for 1

minute before unplugging the power cable to allow the shut down to terminate.

If you connect the included WiFi pen to one of the camera's USB ports

before powering

up, the

camera will act as a WiFi hotspot, creating the 'ast492hotspot' WiFi network: you can connect

using any WiFi enabled device just selecting this network and entering the password

'ast492hotspot'. After the connection is done, you can use the Remote Desktop application as

described above but using the address 192.168.137.1

If you need to connect the camera to your home WiFi router (for example to access the Web),

power down the camera, remove the WiFi pen and restart. Once the boot is completed, connect

to the camera (of course you have to connect to the camera using the Ethernet cable as

described in the previous paragraph), insert the WiFi pen and connect to your home router as

usual.

To get back to the hotspot modality, power down the camera and restart with the WiFi pen

inserted.

As a good rule, try to avoid installing too much non astronomy-related software, keeping in mind

that the stability of the system is of maximum importance when doing astrophotography!
