Hey,

Using my qhy since 2 years and don't know better than it's always just plug and play when ascom drivers and qhy drivers are installed. But they probably improved some cause your experience with it doesn't sound that good :).

ZWO ASI 120 MM seems a good price/quality cam! Thanks for that.
Ofcourse I prefer not buying a new one but using my current, but not sure what you guys can do for me based on the documentation of the readout of the qhy5v?

Regards,
Chris.

well ... i am afraid not really. without the cam and some code that can be modified, it is extremely hard to come up with something usable :/

I wonder if usbip.sourceforge.net/ could be of any use for you?

Probaly needs a bit of network knowledge and a VPN connection like www.zerotier.com/

If you care about price, you can also consider this ZWO ASI120 clone:

www.aliexpress.com/item/T7-Astro-Camera-...rap/32786715355.html

I have the color version and it works flawlessly with my INDI+Raspberry Pi3 and SharpCap+Windows although my 7-years old Lenovo Linux laptop does not like it. Just flash with compatible firmware and use the supplied or other good quality USB cable.

Thanks, is this camera from Ali also mono? And is support by PHD in windows as well?
The price is very attractive indeed, not sure if the quality is always ok..?

T7C is the color version, T7M is the mono.
PhD: I don't use Windows, just flashed the firmware there and tested with Sharpcap, but for sure. It acts like a standard ASI120 camera (same drivers etc.), just the housing is different.
You can also check the "Feedback" section on Aliexpress for reviews of the actual buyers.
Quality: Well, it is marketed as Datyson and it is not a noname brand. You can know them from their lenses, eyepieces, adaptors etc. for telescope.

The final decision is on your side! ZWO is a good brand on its own. I also own an original ASI185MC camera and I am very satisfied with it.
