My experience is that it isn't the most reliable camera in the world.  I just had a go with my current v1.7 code and with the QHY drivers it wasn't stable and when using the driver I wrote I got an error from the USB subsystem that appears to cause MacOS to give up on the device when I tried to change the exposure time

You can have  go with the current v1.7 code if you want though?  Let me know and I'll PM you a link.

Hi James. I have 1.6.3 at the moment but I'll PM you. In your experience .... what have been the most stable and useable cams for use with OAC?? Any recommendations for me to look at ?? What about the Altair units as Mark mentions above ?

Maybe have a try with KStars/Ekos. They have a QHY driver installed in the profiles and works with PHD2.

Thanks Mark. Downloaded and tried but still no joy. Although I'm not sure the INDI server has set up right. It never seems to want to connect. Will play with it more later.

I see you list the Altair GPCAM in your sig. Is that with a Mac ?? Does it (Altair) work well with everything ??

Afternoon folks.

Recently bought a QHY5L-II-M for guiding and perhaps a little planetary imaging.

I know It may have been asked before but has any else had trouble with this cam and OSX?

I'm running OSX 10.14 and have PHD2, EZCap and OACap installed. Both programs appear to be able to see the camera but a preview generates nothing.

Has anyone else had success? What did you use?

Any suggestions much appreciated.
