Everything else works too. Starlight Xpress, Imaging source. No drama.
QHY drivers have gone downhill from what I see when I compare them to the legacy drivers and ease of use. The hardware is good and long lasting but let down by the software side of it and that's impacting on the overall product.
Still worked around it. With great pain I might add  |
Gee Marc and you are a computer guy
. Like Marke I use 64 bit win 7 and everything just installed first go with no problems what so ever. The Ascom drivers make it easy to control the camera across a number of imaging platforms and and I run both my 9 and 5 through these drivers in Maxim and they just work. Once setup you dont even know they are there. In some of the old versions of driver you had to manually place the dll files in the maxim folder. Now its just a double click and it does it all for you. I have also used the removal tool on my old laptop (vista 32) with no probs at all but it never worked well for me on XP but niether did the camera or serial port drivers etc etc (time to upgrade mate, XP is dead
). You cannot get the starsense sci drivers for the QHY 9 as they dont exist and in any case they are just a re-wrapped 64 bit version but Qui put the starsense label to make a complete break from Tom who could not keep up with the fine tuning needed for existing cams as well as writing new drivers for the new cams coming on line due to his work commitments.
PS told you the Mount Hub Pro was a winner I love mine to
