Hello Folks,
For the couple of years I have been using the QHY8l camera I have become quite happy with it,
For a much longer time I have used PHD 2 for guiding and hold Craig Stark in great respect.
Some time ago an ASCOM driver for the camera was released. When starting Nebulosity the ASCOM drive is sellected and then the QHY camera is selected in the next step..'With the new camera the gain is set with a slider in the camera properties window.
To take pictures of the Helix is slide is set so that it shows gain 6, then OK out to the camera and OK out to return to Nebulosity.
However when images are acquired and an image opened Nebulosity image information reports gain 0, the other properties are as expected.
So which report do I believe, I think Nebulosity is correct.
Have I missed something obvious in setting up the camera?
Any help would be much appreciated
Chris
