drivers.
HOWEVER, sadly, Neb is my favourite capture program but was eventually
just far too glitchy and frustrating driving the QHY8.
One night would be fine...another night might not even see the
camera.
So I did as Theo suggested and now exclusively use EzCap (the
very latest version kindly supplied by Theo)
Works clean, no glitches. For now, this will do.

A quick question Steve, which version of EZCAP? I downloaded V19x64 from Tom's website when I downloaded the QHY8drv64 and QHY8drv and QHY8ASCOMsetup drivers.

I presume that now we must use the ASCOM driver, as well as the 64 bit windows driver? It still is confusing, especially since the drivers are not named with a version #.......

As I mentioned in my earlier post, EZCAP gives occasional divide by zero errors and always an error when I exit. This is on a stock standard Dell Inspiron laptop with latest Intel 945gm graphics driver. CCDCAP of course refuses to see the QHY at all.

I might have to try Robin's old drivers, or move to Maxim. Another learning curve. Sigh.

Cheers,
