Re: Lost Camera Image on recenter

I did try toggling the 'live' button a few times but got the message back that the camera was in 'still' mode. I have never used that button previously. And the 'frame' button didnt work either. On an offchance, I tried collecting some images through capture and deep sky capture and they were all fi...

Possible bug with mutliple cameras -- a feature?

I have two telescopes on a common mount, each with a QHY camera. Been running two instances of v4, which seems to work... except when I try to save a named configuration. I cannot do so from the second instance. Am only able to access existing configurations, but the second instance won't save a new...

Lost Camera Image on recenter

Had an unexpected problem with my new QHY533M camera -- was getting setup to image M33, wanted to try 'click to recenter' after two successive platesolve/synch. Had image of m33 on screen but a tad offcenter, expected that when I double clicked the point I wanted to be in the center of the frame, th...

Re: QHY533M and filter wheel

Thanks. By autoexposure, do you mean the sky brightness measure that computes optimum exposure settings? Thats what I use with my other QHY cameras and why I did the sensor analysis with the 533m. I had rolled back to ascom 6.5 when I noticed the allinone install didnt show any updates for 6.6. Othe...

Re: QHY533M and filter wheel

Thanks, Robin. I noticed that the camera control panel is different than what I normally see when using the native drivers. I rather liked the TEC off/on change. I thought about the USB but could not find a setting on the displayed panel for this as an ascom camera -- is it somewhere else? ANyhow, t...

Re: QHY533M and filter wheel (addendum)

I was able to complete a sensor analysis on the qhy533m -- measured full well depth 52k, not the marketing 56k. Still, not bad. Sharpcap 4 x64, latest version. OS is win 10 pro x64 Did notice that the indicated temperature in Sharpcap with TEC on and target temperature of -10C (my usual), indicated ...

Re: Two QHY cameras -- Sharpcap only sees one

Thanks, Robin. Its not a software problem but a hardware issue. I have been watching them appear and disappear as I moved things around on my brand new Powerhub. Seems the four ports can only support ONE active 3.1 connection and ONE active 2.0 connection. But if I moved everything to a different US...

Two QHY cameras -- Sharpcap only sees one

Have made some changes to allow me to operate my two scopes remotely or in parallel. I have a QHY183M on a 6" RC with filter wheel and a QHY183C on a 360mm refractor. But when I try to connect to them, Sharpcap only sees the 183M as a native driver. If I use the ascom driver I can connect to bo...
