BYN 2.09 Not Taking Images


jdiaz998

Question

I finally got some "Clear Skies" and decided to learn and test my Backyard Nikon 2.09 software. It worked fine for a while then, all of a sudden, I would attempt to capture an image and the program showed as if if was working. However after an in ordinate amount of time the capture indicator at the top right would just continue to spin and the program would become unresponsive. I had to "X" out  of the program to be able to restart it. I just can't figure out why one minute it is working and then nothing.

I'm using a Nikon D5500, up to date on firm ware, Windows 10 PC. I have attached 2 log files.

Also, is there a way to get Yahoo weather back in the program?

It appears that you had the lens set to autofocus and the camera would not take an image because it was out of focus. For astrophotography, you need to focus manually.

Thanks. I had it turned off in the session that it was working properly. I was making some changes in the dark and must have inadvertently turned it back on. I'm going to retry it today.

I read a couple of posts that stated that the LNR had to be set to off. I'm not sure if that will affect my camera but I'll try that also.
