The image looks like a lot of noise which is not normal for Sony CMOS cameras. To me it looks like very low gain with extreme stretch... I am the US distributor for QHY cameras. Bruce Morrell
Hello Bruce,
My question wasn't about the settings of gain and offset for the capture but the shift to left of the image that can be seen on the one I included in the beginning of the discussion.
Hello, I wonder if a solution has been found for this problem. I am currently having the exact same issue with my QHY165C. I would also like to add that this was previously a problem on the ASCOM platform as well, which was solved in the latest SDK.
The problem disappeared quite completely on x86_64 platforms. I have time to time some malformed images. But it still remain on arm platforms. Trying to warn Jan and Qiu on the problem looks to be useless. Nothing evolved since I raised the problem quite 1 year ago.
Did you use INDI Nightly with the camera? I will test it again with the 168C to see if I get any issues. What should I be expecting for a room-test? I have the camera on the desk and not attached to the mount.
You might have the unluckiness to obtain an image on two some time more, some time less. It looks like it is composed by the current capture plus the following one. As I understand the capture process for cmos sensors is continuous. So you get the capture you expected for the time you required shifted left and a trailer of the ongoing capture on the sensor. Both separated by a black vertical dark zone. Like the one I posted on qhy forum. I must remind that this happens on arm device with usb 2.0 (in my case the Tinkerboard).
This is great news. I will not use StellarMate or even INDI/KStars/Ekos without the long-awaited fix since this problem not only ruins my frames but also makes plate solving difficult. Hopefully a fix will come in time for the clear skies tomorrow night!
