[pmrid (Peter)]

I'm seriously on the edge of chucking this in. I bought an ATIK11002M that turned out to have an undisclosed whacking great column defect thet even the best darks won't remove; so I bought a new SXVR-H18 that turned out to have a tendency to retain the previous image and superimpose it over the next; a Lodestar that has more snow in it than Kisciusco, then I have 2 QHY5s one of which has just decided it won't recognise it's drivers any more, an astrograph that won't collimate, a new ED127 that needed a new focuser to do even the most basic stuff and last but not least, a QHY8 that simply won't talk to me in Windows7 and will only condescend to take monochrome images in a bodgie ASCOM driver that I never heard of before and then only with Nebulosity.

I am so fed up with paying good money for products that just don't work.

SO to relieve my immediate steress levels, can anyone perhaps put up in the IIS FTP server a set of drivers (including Maxim) that will work in Win7 32-Bit. Please.
