Thanks Troy,
I just tried Maxim DL on the bench tonight with both the QHY9 & the Lodestar connected.
It seems to be working perfectly on the bench - I cannot
recreate the fault from the other night.
I am now at a loss to know what happened before?
The other night I tried everything to get it to work without success & now it won't fault.

I already used Dithermaster for my Canon DSLR.
I'm not sure that it works with the QHY9.

cheers
Allan

In your setup tab, camera 1 should have the QHY9's filter wheel, camera 2 should have no filter wheel. Sounding like you had the QHY9 filter wheel set below the Lodestar camera, which is easy to do I guess if you have lodestar as camera 1.

The "LRGB" option in the expose window is just a preset, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's a LRGB camera attached to it. Create your own presets as needed. All fairly simple. Suggest you read the manual on that.

MaxIm is great and doesn't sound like it's at fault for any of your hassles above. Don't give it 0/10 before you even know how to use it.

Regarding dithering, you might be interested in DitherMaster. Never used it myself, just heard of it.
