QHY8 - black 'n white images in Nebulosity

It's been a fair while since I had a QHY8 to play with and I just can't remember what causes this - Nebulosity won't recognise the QHY8 as such but it will load the ASCOM driver fo it - I installed both drivers. But it images in mono.

Can anyone please remind me what the devil I have to do to get this to image in colour in ASCOM (or ro get Neb to recognise the camera's native drivers?)

You have to download qhyusb.dll from the qhy website, then copy it to the neb directory. Every time I upgraded it, I needed to re-copy the file. Neb 3 doesn't have the issue.

Grant, I think you'll find nebulosity normally shows a colour image from a colour camera as default.

I took the coward's way out - bought a Licence for Neb 3.0. That recognised the drivers just fine.
Colour images now fine.
