this is my first image with my new camera QHY268 photo.

12x300sec.

astronomik luminance filter(l-2)

ed80t cf+0.8 reducer

stacked in APP

 no processing.

Hi,i was wondering if anyone has had this problem.When i turn my CGX on then press the enter button to go to home position the mount just keeps on slewing to the left until it can slew no more,any help would be appreciated.

Thank you both for your replies.

Would anyone know the focal length of the Orion 9x50 finderscope,i need it to put into PHD2 settings.Thanks in advance.

screw caps off,tried sharpcap,tried everything,must be a hardware problem.Bernard at Modern Astronomy is putting me in touch with a Czech engineer who deals with QHY cameras which is very good of him.

Hi tried change of cable,when i trouble shoot in settings it says change from usb3 to usb2,when i do this it then says problem fixed but there is no difference,it still wont work.

Maybe I am being particularly dense, but if you are getting no image at all (from which I am assuming the black screen in the software does not change), how do you know that when you press the connect button, "the camera connects to the polemaster software"?

Is it worth trying it on another machine (even if that machine would never be useable for astro work) to see if you get the dark/light alternation as you cover/uncover the camera?

because going by system settings it says camera connected,device working.

Hi,bought it from Modern Astronomy,tried updating drivers and software.

Can anyone tell me if there is any place in the UK that could look at a polemaster camera for me,the camera connects to the polemaster software but shows no image at all,so i was thinking it is a hardware problem.I have the camera about 2years.
