If you go onto SEARCH FORUMS at top of page, put your search criteria in and then SEARCH, there have been a number of posts on this subject and some wonderful examples of the set-ups that some members use. Hope this helps
This set up cost me $40. The stand that came with it was too short for a silver dollar. I put it on a taller one. The Morgan Dollar is on the deck below the scope. The image is on my desk top monitor.
Just make doubly sure it will work with your computer and operating system. I purchased the one @Inspector43 shows above (on right side) and it said it worked with my OS, but when I got it, it required a higher OS even though the manual that came with it still stated my OS. Support (made in China) stated the OS I was using wouldn't work and they no longer had the software for my OS. Returned and got a full refund, but sorely disappointed.
Sorry about misleading you @Mountain Man. I had to send 2 different ones back myself. The minimal instructions being mostly Chinese translations make it even more difficult.
No need to apologize. The online site and the manual that came with it, said it would work with my system, but they switched it since then. I got my refund and didn't have to pay return postage, I even got to drop it off at UPS without packaging it, at no cost to me, so all is good. And the bonus was I got the refund three days after dropping it at the UPS Store. Fast for todays standards.
Still working on it. I have one that works okay, but not to my liking. Just ordered another type and waiting for it to come so I can try it out.
Interested in your opinion as well. Which DOESN'T suit you well. That information can help as well. Z
