QHY132E camera

[Rich Broome]

Hi all, I've just acquired QHY132E and QHY8L cameras and the manuals don't provide a step by step guide to taking an image. Does anyone with either of these cameras have a simple chronology from switching on through to taking an image? Recommended settings for the moon, Jupiter and deep sky for the 8L would be very helpful also. I'll be using the cameras first on a TS 80mm refractor and then on a C14 EdgeHD. Thanks, Rich

Assuming you have installed the driver then you should be able to use something like FireCapture or SharpCap for capture. Once the driver is installed and the camera plugged in, start FC. It should automatically detect the camera type and go to the main screen. There are tutorial videos on FireCapture here.

Thanks for the info David.
