Connection ST7E

Post by Forum_2015 »

Hi all,

I could not connect my ST7E camera via parallel port to astroart5: error message "Can not load driver d_sbig.dll". I have copied the latested sbig-driver into the program folder of astroart5.
I have the latestet release of windows 7 and astroart5.

Any recommendations to solve the problem?

I think you still need to download the SBIG AstroArt camera drivers...

and you need also the low-level drivers from SBIG. Verify them with the SBIG Driver Checker. Verify the camera with the SBIG software CCDOPS.

Hi all,
sorry for my late reply but I was on a business trip.
First of all thanks a lot for your answers.

The drivers are installed in the astroart5 directory.
I`ve reinstalled CCDSoft and update the drivers via SBIGDriverChecker.

I could not connect either to CCDSoft nor to Astroart5.

I think the problem are the drivers for CCDSoft. I try to solve it.
