Error again in raw 8 force still mode on from start.

Hi Anthony, I was just composing an email to QHY about this issue and that got me trying some things out with my QHY178 and then I discovered that I get a crash with my camera when I select 'Force Still Mode' and the camera is in RGB24. Still mode works correctly in RAW8 and RAW16 though. Now I am ...

Thanks for the reply and the bug reports - I wasn't expecting that outcome as the option works with the QHY cameras I have here. Looking at the details of the bug report it's not something simple like SharpCap not passing enough memory to the QHY SDK to hold the image data, so I suspect a bug in th...

Hmm, let me have a think - I run QHY cameras that can support video mode in video mode (even for longer exposures). I wonder if this camera doesn't like that and would prefer to be in still mode. I have the code for that already to support non-video cameras - I will see if I can put together a buil...

Hi, thanks for the detailed report - it sounds like you have been through a lot of troubleshooting steps already without getting any results :( There is nothing bad showing in your logs, but that just supports the idea that the QHY SDK is not getting around to sending the frames to SharpCap for som...

Hi, One thing i wanted to add.. Lets say the sharpcap is set to two minutes... The frame will eventually push through when the timer reaches the next frame completion.. IE 2 min sub comes through at end of next two minute sub. I will try the other things you mentioned. Can you report this to QHY? I ...

Only when using the direct QHY driver instead of ascom the first frame to come through and whenever you change the duration of the capture the frame takes up to and over the amount it took to take the frame. Example: 2 minute capture takes over two minutes to transfer to the program. Sometimes it do...
