Hi All,

firstly, newbie here trying to get my first rig going.

ive been struggling with getting my system running and getting it to be reliable.

i currently have a qhy294c (purchased from here) and im having issues getting it to take images reliably,

I currently use stellarmate on a raspberry pi 4 powered by a mains adaptor.
connected via ethernet to stop wifi issues.
I have a EQ6 mount which seems to be working ok.
GPS connected to get location, seems to work ok.
ASI120MM guide scope
QHY294c was connected to a 12v 1 amp power supply, but I have upgraded to
a 12v 4.5A main power supply as part of my troubleshooting.
Also have an ASI EAF which im yet to get going.

Im currently struggling to get reliable pictures from the QHY camera, one time ill turn it on and it will go an image and solve almost straigtht away,
then try again and it might just hang,
next time it might just give me a black screen.

i cant seem to get a reliable response from the camera.

What im wondering is if this might be a stellarmate issue (just upgraded to 1.7.5) or if it is possible a raspberry pi issue or possibly a camera issue,

Im currently at a little bit of a loss to work out what to try next,

Im happy to try things if anyone has a suggestion, My next option i think is to get a PC connected and see if i can get reliable images to it , im thinking installing nina as i hear lots about it.

anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks

Peter
