I've managed to find the driver for it, however it does not support Windows 8 and that's what I'm running. Not going to troubleshoot further either.

There is a reason why I dislike Windows... and moved over to Mac years ago. I cannot get any QHY drivers to work with the old QHY5. Unless someone is kind enough to point me to a download link?

I have been using this camera for a while under Indi, you need to use older drivers for it, it does work (not a perfect driver but it works). Here's one of my posts: https://indilib.org/forum/ccds-dslrs/4975-fixed-qhy5-no-longer-working.html And I'm using the latest Kstars 3.3.8 for Osx, as you can see from the screenshots, it connects and can take pictures. I shall start up my Windows to demonstrate that this camera works as you are implying that it does not.

As I have now upgraded to a QHY5L-II-M, I no longer have the needs for the old QHY5 I thought about turning it into an all-sky camera but gave up on the idea. £50 (+postage)

As I haven't use it that much I think it's time for somebody else to enjoy it. Collection only (from Kingston Upon Thames) as it's heavy and quite tricky to pack correctly. £150

PM replied, thanks.

As per the title, Starlight Xpress SX USB filter wheel with the 5 x2in filter wheel, in excellent condition (comes with the original box and T thread adapters). I'm selling it as I am now using a filter drawer instead. The only thing missing is the USB cable, something you probably have... £120 + postage (UK only) paypal.

@MultumInParvo I'll be happy to answer any questions you might have. Throw them into my build thread please and I'll help you once I'm back in a few days time.

I remember when I worked with Themos on the very first edition of this tool https://github.com/Trigger-broom-289/eq-polar-alignment in good old fashion bash... I like the graphical interface, but I'd like to have a command line version in python too.

If you download helvO08.pil and helvO08.pbm (Google it) and udpate the code, it looks slightly better.

thanks for the link

hypertuned ?

Sadly, the weather has been quite bad since I came back from holidays, I'm checking my weather station every day and there is not enough time between clouds... to remote polar align. And I doubt they would be happy to do it at 1am... which is usually when it's mostly clear... lol

Within Ekos there is now a great polar alignment tool, I can run it and will be able to see how far out the mount is. I have done my best to "visually" align it as much as I could....
