Loss of Camera Connection
If the computer connection to the camera is interrupted, you will need
to re-establish connection. This can happen due to several reasons; if
a cable becomes unplugged, the computer "freezes", or the software/
hardware otherwise temporarily loses the data coming from the camera.
To re-establish camera connection, first close the guiding or capture pro-
gram that was being used on your computer. Then, unplug and re-plug
the camera into the computer's USB port. Finally, restart the guiding or
capture software.
Care and Maintenance
When the SAGPRO is not in use, the dust cap should be replaced on
the end of the nosepiece. This prevents dust from accumulating on the
SAGPRO's optical window. The optical window should only be cleaned if
significant dust builds up or if the window is touched. Any quality optical
lens cleaning tissue and optical lens cleaning fluid specifically designed
for multi-coated optics can be used to clean the glass surface of the
SAGPRO's optical window. Never use regular glass cleaner or cleaning
20
fluid designed for eyeglasses. Before cleaning with fluid and tissue, blow
any loose particle off the surface with a blower bulb or compressed air.
Then apply some cleaning fluid to a tissue, never directly on the optics.
Wipe the optical surface gently in a circular motion, then remove any
excess fluid with a fresh lens tissue. Use caution, rubbing too hard may
cause scratches.
