OK, I've checked through all the threads I can find...
I've downloaded the drivers for the QHY5 from every site I can find, downloaded the ASCOM drivers for the QHY5....and still I can't get the camera recognised when running under Win7(64)
(It runs 100% OK under WinXp)
What the devil am I doing wrong!!!
Help needed.
Simon,
I have exactly the same set-up...Win7 (64), V6 ASCOM, V1.13 PHD and I've tried all the QHY5 drivers I can find...
I'd really be interested to know exactly which one works for you.
Ken, 2.4.0 is working for me.
Where exactly is it going to poo?
Edit:
This is what happens for me:
Plug camera in, nothing happens with the camera...
Start PHD, nothing....
Click "Connect to camera" and select "ASCOM v5 Camera", select "CMOS QHY5 Camera", click ok.
PHD is still black screen so hit "Begin looping exposures for frame and focus" button and away she goes, cam power light comes on and I get an image.
Ok....
Maybe just needed some encouragement. It now works!
Downloaded the QHY drivers (again!) from the QHYCCD site - QHY5drv64.zip and the upgrade QHY5Update.zip (hadn't seen this one before??!) and the Ascom driver QHY5ASCOM-V40.exe....
Installed the QHY5drv64.exe (says 2.1 drivers - 04/2010) which seemed to go OK....then the QHYUpdate.exe (says 3.1 drivers - 07/2011) then finally the ASCOM drivers....
Under the ASCOM (late) camera setting in PHD the drop down screen now shows V2.4.0.0 and the QHY5 can be selected. (There's no ASCOM V5 camera available in 1.13.6...)
