Please don't worry, let me help you how to use it.

Secondly, Test the SV105 that connecting it to the computer by the USB cable coming within the package. There is no need install a driver. Because the SV105 is a standard UVC device, Windows 7 and newer operating system will automatically install the driver.

Thirdly,Check your computer 【Device Manager】, you will find the Camera 【SVBONY SV105】. It means the successfully connecting. 

Fouthly, running the astronomy software【sharpcarp】as administator. enter the software and single click the 【camera】button, you will see 【SVBONY SV105】.  Double click it, then you will see the image or some light on the screen, if all equpments work well. 

before connecting the SV105 to your telescope, please focus the target first by using a normal optic eyepiece. then replace it with the SV105 camera. You should adjust the focus wheel to reach a clear image on the computer screen. Because the SV105 isn't auto focus camera like Canon and Sony camera. 

Finaly, connect 1.25" SV105 electronic eyepiece to your telescope, then you could take photos on your computer and save the files. Also you could capture a vivid video. If you need change the specifications to make the images more beautiful as you need, manually adjust Gain, Contrast, Exposure Time, Frame rate and Color Saturation on the right side table.

Hello, I have a Celestron 130 SLT telescope and an SVBONY V105 electronic eyepiece. My problem is that I cannot focus on Saturn or Jupiter as they look too small. If I add a Barlow 2X to it, the image is enlarged but I still cannot focus. I use an electronic focuser, not a manual one. If I want to see the Moon, the magnification is greater, the definition is not very good because the focus is not very good. Could you tell me what the solution is? Thank you!!!

If you want to shoot a planet like Jupiter, you can try add the extension tube and add the Barlow, this may be helpful. Also, try this way to make the image better. https://x-bit-astro-imaging.blogspot.com/2020/11/using-sv105-cameras-correctly-with.html

Hello: I recently acquired an SV105 and as a beginner I have run into several issues using the Camera. have downloaded the recommended software for my mac, (eocapture). My issue is that I find the freeware program to be quite glitchy with several crashes and I have only be able to record an AVI File. Macs aren't able to read an AVI File. I was going to return the camera because of this situation but found this following solution. I downloaded another free Astrophotography Editing program called SiriL. It automatically converts the file to an SIR file that it can work with and within this program you can stack, align and edit the photo very successfully. then export the completed photo in the file format of your choice. I was particularly impressed with the quality of images I am able to capture with this entry level camera.

I have acquired an SV 105 camera, I use it in the National Geographic 70/900 telescope, I cannot focus on any object. The moon looks like a white sphere without any definition. I use the camera as my primary focus.

Try turning down the GAIN and BRIGHTNESS options in whatever capture software you are using. You might need to add CONTRAST as well to eliminate all the brightness. If it's still to bright you might consider purchasing a UV/IR cut filter or a UHC filter I have even used a linear polarizing filter to reduce the brightness of the Moon. Also it's almost impossible to get a really dark image of the FULL MOON, "unless" you take while the moon is low on the horizon just before it sets or just after it rises. Hope these suggestions can help you.
