QHY cameras not showing in camera menu, see attached.

Am I missing a driver file file?

Ian

You would need to install the windows drivers for your camera, but I'd expect that you had already done that. What model(s) do you have?

thanks,

Robin

QHY5, QHY8 and QHY9

These are the files in the SharpCap directory

Hi,

thanks for the info - I am wondering if the QHY SDK that I am using is perhaps not supporting some of the older models of QHY camera. Can you get the cameras to work using their ASCOM drivers?

thanks,

Robin

Hi

The QHY5 camera works OK, not yet tried the QHY8 and QHY9

Hi Ian,

I have checked with QHY and they confirm that these older models of camera are not supported by the SDK used by SharpCap - your best bet is to use the ASCOM drivers for these cameras (and to ignore the message about using the direct driver for QHY cameras that you get when using the ASCOM driver as it doesn't apply to you!).

cheers,

Robin

Thanks for looking into the problem. Will continue to use ASCOM for my QHY5
