Hi Greg,
what a bummer -
all that over a lousy driver.
That's almost heart breaking.
I remember when I first got my QHY9M camera.
I initially couldn't get it to work along with the filter wheel and mount drive via the Lodestar guide camera.
I had loaded the many files of software in the wrong order -
the correct order was not clear to me.
I ended up having to uninstall everything -
reboot and start again to re-install following a particular order.
It then all worked very well.
However - that was about 5 hours later.
I also to this day cannot swap USB ports for the 2 USB cables on the laptop -
each one of 2 USB cables only works in one USB port.
The cables are labeled for each port.
Also hidden in the QHY9M notes was that actual pictures you wanted must be downloaded
with slow download not fast download.
I went for ages not knowing that until some dark frames showed that slow download
had only one quarter of the noise as fast download.
You need a lot of patience and to be forgiving of yourself
to be able to do this hobby.
I say to myself that I can get better pictures than multi million dollar telescopes
of the 1970s that used film so it's not going to be easy.
cheers
Allan
