Greetings, I have a problem with my QHY CCD camera. I try to submit the camera's frame dimensions (width and height) but whatever I try,it wont take the values I submit and I always get a red sign at the left of the frame box. I attach some photos and logs. My QHY works fine with my raspberry (I think with Kstars 3.4) but I encounter this problem with my Ubuntu 20.04 laptop with Kstars 3.5.2. Is there any problem with QHY driver at 3.5.2? Thank you very much for your time.

         

I also get the error messages

"Warning! The calculated field of view is out of bounds. Ensure the telescope focal length and camera pixel size are correct."

And

"[ERROR] Invalid frame requested (0,0) (0 x 0) "


with my qhy when i updated to the latest stable, see
indilib.org/forum/ekos/9286-alignment-re...g-in-qhy-driver.html

Hopefully it will be fixed soon....

What does the image info tab shows?

Greetings,thank you for your answer. I also got these errors after the latest stable update. I hope they will be fixed soon.

Greetings Jasem,
Thank you very much for your answer. I attach 3 photos. General info,image settings and image info. At image info,INDI didnt recognize the correct width and height. 


 
 

Anyone know if this has been fixed in the nightly build?

Enable camera debug logging and share the log.

I believe I found the issue, will push an update soon.

Greetings Jasem,
Thank you very much for your reply. I patiently wait for a possible solution-update.

Best regards.

That is so great to hear, thanks a lot

I might have some clear skies in a few days. Has the fix found is way to the nightly so i can try it out if the sky permits?

Hi, any news on this topic???
Today I got a used QHY6 for guiding but I have exactly the same problem. I can only get it to work forcing the useful area resolution (752x582) and saving options.
There's also another problem, when I manually stop an exposure the camera hangs and I have to stop the server, disconnect the camera and restart the server.
KStars/INDI are updated to the latest versions.
 

Hello,

I have the same problem: it seems that QHY6 driver works well when you try to guide for the first time (I guide a Skywatcher EQ8 through EQMod), but if you stop guiding and later you try to restart guiding, the driver fails. Even the QHY6 dissapears from the camera menu and only remains the science CCD (in my case, the SBIG ST-8 XME). It seems this problem is quite common, I know another friend with the same problem.

I'm going to replace the QHY6 by an ASI 120MM, hope this CMOS won't give these problems.

Apart from this but, Ekos seems great: I'm currently migrating from SGPro to Ekos and it is much more lighter than the heavy and slow SGPro. The plate solve and the overall program are very fast compared with SGPro and guiding is fine when the QHY6 works.

Greetings,
