Hello, hoping someone of here can shed a little light on an issue I've been having. I am trying to use a QHY 5III462C as a guide camera with PHD2. I can't get passed the wizard setup phase as PHD cannot find the 462 to connect to.I have installed the 21.08.26 SDK from QHY but this version does not seem to be picked up. dpkg -l returns version 21.7.3 of libqhy as being installed. I am running version 2.6.10 of PHD2 (the latest version). Has anyone experienced this issue and managed to resolve it? EKOS internal guider does see the QHY462 so I can fall bck to that but I'm use to PHD and would like to continue using it if I can.

Thanks.

Hello, I have recently been trying to configure Astroberry with an Olympus OM-D E-M1 without success. The Astroberry GPHOTO driver recognises the camera as an E-M1 but when I try to take a test exposure it then ignores the exposure time I have set and instead opens and closes the shutter in less than 1 second. I have tried both Live Bulb and Live Time modes to no avail. Has anyone succeeded in getting this camera working with Astroberry/INDI?

Thanks

I have been experimenting with Astroberry trying to get it to use an Olympus OM-D E-M1. Astroberry recognises the camera correctly and starts up but the problem lies when I try to take an exposure. It doesn't matter what I set the exposure value to, the camera's shutter opens and closes in less than 1 second. I have tried both Live Bulb and Live Time modes on the camera but neither works. Has anyone succeeded in getting Astroberry/INDI working with an E-M1?

Thanks.

Harry
