FAQ
Q1: When connected to SharpCap, the indicator light does not turn on, but the cooling function works normally. What is the cause?
A: There is a “Status LEDs” setting option in SharpCap; simply set it to “on.”
Q2: After connecting to SharpCap, the fan is spinning normally, but the sensor temperature is not dropping.
A: By default, cooling is not enabled in SharpCap; you need to manually set “Cooler” to “on.”
Q3: What is the maximum cooling temperature?
A: For short exposures, it can reach 35°C below ambient temperature; for long exposures (>1s), it can reach 42°C below ambient temperature.
Q4: Is it normal for the camera body to get warm or even hot after using it for a while?
A: This is normal and indicates that heat is being dissipated through the body.
Q5: Does it achieve “zero glow”?
A: Yes. In actual testing with a 300-second long exposure at -10°C, no glow was detected.
Q6: What is the exposure time range?
A: The exposure time ranges from 0.1 ms to 3600 s
Q7: What is the gain value range?
A: The gain value ranges from 100 to 10,000.
Q8: Does the SC571CC support macOS?
A: Yes, it supports macOS via Wine.
Q9: Is the SC571CC compatible with Touptek or StellaVita?
A: It is compatible with StellaVita software.
Q10: Can the screw holes on the camera’s base accommodate a ZWO 5×2-inch or 7×2-inch electronic filter wheel?
A: Yes, the screw holes on the camera’s base are M2.5 with a center-to-center distance of 31mm; any wheel meeting these specifications will fit.
Q11: Does the SC571CC require an external power supply to operate?
A: Yes, it must be connected to a 12V power supply to function properly.
Q12: Can the SC571CC power adapter be shared with the SV405CC?
A: Yes, they can be shared. Any adapter with an output voltage of 12V/3A or higher is compatible.
Q13: Does the AC/DC power adapter included in the camera package come with a power cord?
A: Yes, it is included as standard.
Q14: What is the diagonal size of the camera’s sensor?
A: The diagonal size is 28.3mm, equivalent to an APS-C format camera.
Q15: What is the camera’s flange focal distance?
A: The flange focal distance is 17.5mm.
