Never used a QHY5-II, but I never could get a QHY 5 to EVER be recognised by my computer running 7. XP, yes, after a LOT of trial and tribulations, but NEVER on 7, despite doing EVERYTHING QHY says and the user groups.

I also found it interferes with Atik drivers, and it was being recognised as some Atik product that I did not even have - and STILL could not connect to it - the red light NEVER came on.

And yet, the Orion version I never had an issue with. Really odd (I assume the Orion Starshoot autoguider is a QHY5 - could be wrong).

QHY's software is a little peculiar to put it mildly, but for the price, IF you get it to work, well...

Good luck. Failing that, try the Orion Starshoot.
