Drivers for QHY5 guide cam.

[merlinxlm]

Hello everybody, my lovely wife has bought me a ST80 as a guide scope and a QHY5 guide cam. I've heard that the QHY5 can be very particular as to which drivers to install, could some one advise me on the correct driver and software to install. I'll be using the cam through PHD and I'll be using it as a lunar cam.

Thank you.

Is that the non coded variant or the V or T variants ?

Its just the standard guide cam, not the V or T version. I'll be using it sometimes with the mount being controled throught the ASCOM driver and sometimes with the standard hand control, but guiding with PHD through the ST4 port. Any advice?

Thank you.

Not with the drivers sorry, I've only experience of the 5v... it was problematic...

Download the drivers from Modern Astronomy here :- Modern Astronomy - Downloads

Select QHY5 as the camera type and download the "QHY5 System Driver (1024 Buffer)" and the "QGVideo Capture Software" and install both, install the ststem driver first then QGVideo.
