is there nobody else using a cooled QHY camera?

How do you handle the problem with the broken temperature regulation?

Hi Dirk:

I am having the same or a similar problem. I'm running on a StllarMate using the latest version 1.46. Connecting using Ekos from my Surface or my MacBook. I've been experimenting all day today. If I use auto temperature regulation I only see the temperature drop to around 12.9°C. Nothing I do will change this. If I remove power from the camera and restart Kstars fresh I can get the manual power setting to work once. As an example if I set power to 100% it will cool down to about -25°C. If I hit auto it goes back to 12.9℃ and can no longer be changed even in manual.

I would love to help but I'm not sure about installing a patch on the StellarMate.

Regards,
Mike
