Thank you so much Robin!

It now works

I chose FLI.focuser as the focuser in ASCOM device hub, and device hub focuser as the focuser in SharpCap, as you suggested.

Super great user support!

Kind regards

António

Thank you so much Robin! The current links for the setup downloads from FLI are the following (32 and 64 bit versions) https://www.flicamera.com/downloads/FLISetup-2.1.0-32.zip https://www.flicamera.com/downloads/FLISetup-2.1.0-64.zip I also have the original installation files from FLI that also pr...

Hi Robin, v4.1 32 bit looking good!! Here is a potential ASCOM focuser bug that I noticed in SharpCap v4.1.10700.0 (32 bit). I do not know if it was existent in previous 4.1 32bit version(s). 1) the focuser (FLI, 32 bit ASCOM driver) works perfectly in 4.0 2) in 4.1, when I click to connect the focu...

Hi Robin, Jean-Francois, went back to SC4 v 4.0.9538 and problems disappeared.

Also, sensor analysis gave a proper result (attached).

Something went wrong with my update, but for the moment I'm leaving things as they are.

Thank you both! Best wishes

Thank you both! Completely different results from mine (see below; made them in triplicate) So, different camera behavior, before and after last SC update (now both 4 and 4.1 with lastest updates). Also, different camera behavior, at the same date, with SC4 (after updated; strange behavior) and 4.1 ...

Great Robin! Thanks!

Hi Robin, as expected you were right... From QHY's page... 2023.01.06 Update Note 1.QHY5III715:Modified default gain setting; 2.QHY5III678:Modified default gain setting; 3.QHY5III585:Modified default gain setting; 4.QHY5III200:Modified default gain setting; 5.QHY342PRO:Added camera support; Best wis...

Hi Jean-Francois, thank you for your messages. You are right on your comments, but the camera behaves quite differently from what it was before the SDK update. I had calibrated the capture profiles for all filters I use for planetary imaging, even for daylight use, and the minimum gain settings that...

Thank you so much Robin!

After my previous post I updated SC4.1 to v4.1.10260 and the Histogram change appears (attached image). As you suggested it should be a SDK change. I will have to check the consequences in actual imaging. Hope nothing negative appears.

Thanks!

Hi Robin, sorry to bother you but I ended up with a much noisier QHY5III200M camera after upgrading SCpro 4 to v4.0.9545. The problem did not disappear when I reinstall the QHY all-in-one driver package (the package that supports the camera, obviously), and the problem does not occur with SCpro 4.1....
