Hi Peter,
nice pic.


Many USB cables won't work if they are 5 m long.
I've seen it on many different devices in my job.


Also - with my QHY9-M - if I use fast download speed it
increases the read noise by a factor of 4.

The software should have had a warning on it because I had
to find out the hard way -
although later I found that out inside the instruction manual.
So - always use slow download but I don't know
if it's true for your camera?
It's easy enough to find out by testing in the 2 different modes.





cheers
Allan
