Just a bit of an update on QHY5 drivers.

I believe QHY has shifted all their camera drivers to ASCOM, so no new driver for standalone applications for PHD etc...use the ASCOM driver to connect instead.

QHY has done this as there is more scope for ASCOM compatibility and support than rewriting separate application different variants of guide software.

I just shifted to a netbook for running PHD etc and found I cannot connect to my "CCD Labs Q Guider"....for the above reasons...they only release ASCOM drivers from now on. Yet my old lappy still runs the older QHY CCD Labs Q Guider connection that was installed years ago.

I've yet to try the ASCOM driver (on the new lappy) ...but can get a working connection (in PHD)..so I guess it works.

Just a heads up to others!
