What's the beef with this camera, worked well in December, I bring it back here today and it's not working.

You should see the ID 16c0:296d which is the QHY5 but it's not there, and yes the red light is on at the back of the camera and yes the server is fully up-to-date.

I updated (nightlies) and tested my QHY-5. It works. lsusb lists

Did you manage to get your mount aligned, too? If so, you've been lucky as I was unable to take any photos last night.

Not yet, local weather isn't cooperative at the moment. It might, in a coupe of nights from now.
