I've attached the log from my camera with driver debug, maybe it will shed some additional light on the issue.

In the meantime I've done some quick test using latest drivers and SharpCap - the option to reduce Amp glow is available there, and works just fine.

Can you try libqhy nightly? I just updated it yesterday. If that doesn't fix the issue, then it needs to be filed over at QHY.

Ok last time I talked with QHY regarding this issue, I was told the option was removed from the SDK. You may contact them about this.

I don't understand. Why was it removed? Out of error?

No, this is the official response:

We have set some camera to force anti-ampv enabled. So these camera's amp glow setting is removed. For these camera it will automatically enable the ampv control.

The official response from QHYCCD:

In fact, we have automatically turned on the amplifier glow controller in the firmware and set it to be turned on by default. So the current image is the effect of turning on the amplifier glow controller. However, due to the limitation of the CMOS chip, this camera cannot completely avoid the effects of amplifier glow.Most of our new generation CMOS cameras have achieved zero glow, such as QHY268 and QHY600

I can't be really sure because I don't know this exact model, but all qhy cameras don't have a resident firmware fixed in the hardware.

What happens is the firmware included in the driver installation gets loaded inside the camera every time it's powered on. So you only need to make sure you have an up to date version of the indi driver to have the latest firmware.

Please anybody correct me if I'm wrong.

x86 32bit was discontinued long ago. Only 64bit and armhf/arm64 is supported.
