Tried the cam at night. Seems that daylight is only too much for it, thats why i always got plaine white pics. The other issue has something to do with bandwith... but thats not neccesarry. Anyway. Cam works, problem solved..

cheers Niki

Yes I have the asi120mmS the mono USB 3 version. I have been using it as my guide camera for a year or so now in KStars with phd2. I love it because it is reliable and as you observed, extremely sensitive! If you want to take shots in the daytime with a camera lens, you will need to reduce the exposure time to milliseconds or even microseconds. In the capture module of Ekos, you can use exposure times like that. I have also tried using it as my main imager with an h alpha filter. For a cheap camera it can do some amazing work. I liked it so much I just got an asi 224 color for quick color images of nebulas. This evening I found that even with the color version, I can detect the North American nebula in a half second exposure. It rocks.
