Morning all so see if this makes any sense PhD 1.14.2 finds qhy5l-ii camera and can make dark library ?? .so issue must be with phd2 .sooo confused. Just started up phd2 and now it finds camera but only as qhy capture ascom but will not make darks camera times out I have increased time but still nothing.?
-
Sharpcap also I'm done for today a complete reinstall of everything and still no better ? try again tomorrow before my clr night
-
Yeah it's still not recognised by any software other than EZPlanetary.about to do a complete uninstall of all qhy/phd/ascom and reinstall and see what happens .I've also posted on the phd2 forum but I'm not sure if the issue is just phd2 as apt cant find the qhy cam either.
-

-
Yeah I reckon in total 6 ish times I've reinstalled various drivers.

Camera works fine when I use ezplanatory qhy supplied software. When I use phd2 the display looks like a untuned TV and none of the settings change the display

So I have got focus on the tower using ezplanatory software ?.as soon as I go to phd2 the screen looks like a unturned TV so the issue must be settings or software and qhy compatibility. Collimation by laser -

Hi Adam I can now see the clock tower through the asi and 130pds , but nowt through the st80 and qhy if I cover scope I get black out so it is getting a image but the settings are somewhat problematic to me just spoke to bernard(modern astro) where qhy was purchased and he says st80 is a bit over kill and start with ezplanet software as it's for the qhy and then copy some settings over to other software once I got it working.he also said "I may struggle getting focus of the clocktowrr as it's a small chip " didn't really understand that but he said he could do it easy as that's hes job ( makes sense) he said I should start with long exposures and then shorten to find stars.filter wheel I put in as complete setup but not currently using as trying to keep it all simple to start with. Ps no coma corrector in scope didn't think I would need one . Si -

Ignore the garden in the process of new fences and turning all the soil over after trampolines and paddling pool destroyed it.and the washing on the line training night last night so just look at scope.so last night all hooked up on second restart all devices found and working but the display for qhy guide was like tuning in the TV screen all the settings just made it brighter or dimmer but still fuzzy TV look ( I know it's a colour cam) in settings it has white balance and rgb settings but still nothing.2second loop 1 second exposure gain 30 all the way to 97 just the brightness changed all the way up I was adjusting the focus from in to out ?. So today I shall be trying to focus on a house across the park ( not a bathroom window honest) let's see how I go.?? -
