It is ASCOM version 6.5 SP1 and not just 6.5…?? And also don’t use the beta QHY driver, use the latest stable version…as strangely the newer beta is actually older than the latest stable….🤔🤔

This may not help, and sorry for that, but I too just got the colour version of this camera from Modern Astronomy, and had to install the driver package twice, but did work the second time perfectly, one thing I was told is that the camera should NOT be connected during the install and reboot after before connection the camera, also during the install did you install any of the packages other than the ASCOM driver one, as there is a list of them that come up, and the only one you should have checked it the ASCOM 6.5, and you need the latest ASCOM 6.5 SP1 installed for it to work…

Actually I can’t find them on Amazon now, but you can buy direct from there UK site I think….there are cheaper ones, which I tried, but they lasted about two months…

I have two of these Bluetooth sensors, and the phone app, tiny little things, one in the obsy and one outside, they are about £30 each on amazon https://bluemaestro.com/products/tempo-disc-bluetooth-temperature-humidity-sensor-beacon-logger

I did not think colour flats were debayered so the colour issue is mute, and the calibration is done before the debayering process with RAW images..🤔🤔 but I may be totally wrong…

Best wishes for 2922, you say, hmmmm, I don’t think so….😂😂😂😂😂

My obsy is a 5 foot square, and is roughly around 65-75% humidity, and never had an issue, I also have a 12v 25w heater on the top of the pier which keeps the mount area a little below my quoted figures, that is not 8 hours overnight, when not using, my desiccant dehumidifier is on for just two hours a day, 1 hour in the AM and 1 in the PM, as it’s a desiccant one it works down to 1 degree unlike condensing ones that won’t work well at all below about 15 degrees. 👍🏼

The advert is for several cameras, and it’s a bit misleading, TBH…

I use a OSC camera and take flat frames, but never come across an issue with colour channels…interesting…🤔👍🏼

No it’s not cheaper, you have to click on the 26 megapixel version and then the price is the same…..👍🏼

Yes there will be VAT and import duties, but that will depend on what value is put on the package, when I asked them about buying one, they told me it would show $300 on the package….so possibly a very good buy, also if it’s of any interest, the QHY version is on offer at MA for £1650

Ok, sorted….many thanks…much appreciated 👍🏼

Thanks much appreciated but I still just get this…

Hi, I am trying to join the NINA discord forum, but each link I try says it invalid and to try another one, but can’t see anymore, does anyone have an invite link for the server that I can use to join… Thanks

So thats a no then…☹️👍🏼

Do I get £25 voucher for spotting….😂😂

Ok, it’s been edited now…👍🏼

Sorry my bad, it mentions case and bag in both ads…I got a little confused….🤪🤪

Just a heads up. You have the details for the case and bag the wrong way round on each ad….👍🏼

There is deffo something wrong there, but it’s not light leaking into the imaging train, as the flat you used has not been subtracted form the image, as you can still see the dust bunnies, both in the flat, as you should do, but also still in the image after calibration…. I’m not sure what the issue is, but I’m pretty sure it’s not light getting in…

Do you know if these PC’s that @FLO is selling, have the option of booting on power on, but that I mean if out in an obsy, when I turn the power on from the house to the mount, will the PC auto boot up, as my current NUC does, but looking to replace….also do they work ok in headless mode, with no mouse, monitor. Or keyboard connected, or do they need some sort of dummy HDMI plug…?

😂😂 yes was a joke….

Yes, may help some, but I can’t run a CAT5 or 6 cable, due to a full width conservatory on the back of my house, and the glass does not like to have holes drilled through it….😂😂, full glass floor to top…. So Wi-Fi is my only option…👍🏼

Ah, yes, I do use a 1200mbps USB 3 Wi-Fi dongle, so this may well be the difference….

Well, it worked fine on my win 10 system, but it has not been updated for some time, so thats maybe why, I had no idea they had stopped it working…I used it last about 7 months ago, and it worked then…
