QHY10 help required

#1

Post by anirban81 »

Hi,

I am using QHY10 with Sharpcap 3.2 on Windows 10.

In 5-10 second preview with 4x4 binning, I am only able to see 5-6 stars (even with high gain). But when I connect this to stellarmate, I see a lot of stars with the same settings.

Can you please let me know what options I can try? I am using the native driver (not via ASCOM).

Thanks,
Anirban

Hi,

try using the stretch functionality in the mini histogram to brighten up the image – https://docs.sharpcap.co.uk/3.2/#Mini%2 ... %20Stretch – it could be that SharpCap is not quite getting the maximum brightness of the image calculated correctly and therefore making everything too dark.

Cheers, Robin
