Hi

Re: QHY367C

Hi Robin,

I am away until the end of the week but will certainly check this when I return.
What exactly would you like a screen shot of. The whole SharpCap panel?

QHY367C

Tried my QHY 367C with SharpCap.
The images are coming out in black and white.
The facility to de bayer does not seem to be there so I am not sure that is the problem.
The correct camera appears in the heading line.

Any help would be fantastic.
