QHY 174 M/GPS and Thermal Controls

The controls don't seem to be active. It says the current temp at startup is 27.8C. I am very sure the temp is around 7C. Is my camera faulty?

Hi,

There seems to be possibly some dependency on the order that you adjust the controls for the QHY camera – try setting the cooler power to auto and then adjusting the target temperature after the cooler power has been set – that usually seems enough to kick the cooler mechanism of the camera properly into life.

There is a new version of the QHY SDK in testing at the moment which will hopefully start to fix some of these glitches. Unfortunately it's not ready for release to end-users just yet.

Cheers, Robin
