Hi Peter.

There are a few ways you could test the operation of your QHY camera.

If you have a PC running Windows you could download a program called Astrophotography Tools.

It has native QHY drivers, and will enable you to test
your camera.

N.I.N.A also is another open source automated program.

You will need to download and install the ASCOM platform and drivers.

QHY also has its own imaging software, EZCAP.

Firecapture is another.

The Qhy 294mc has a short back focus.

Also when setting up your profile in Stellamate
dont forget to enter your scopes correct focal length.

Hope that might help ?

Good luck.

Paul.
