Re: QHY 294c

The SharpCap pro release on May 6th contained the fixes discussed here. I DL the May 9th release since it was the latest. I do not have any connection issues with the camera now and mostly the camera controls seem ok. I did find something strange with the still images saved with the SharpCap latest ...
