+RonC Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Has anybody tried using the QHY5 1 Mono for planetary imaging? Does it work? Are there any inherrant problems using it? Would like to try myself but wondered if anybody had tried it? Cheers Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xanthic Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I've used my QHY5 II on Jupiter. Results weren't too bad especially as it was my first go. There can be a bit of banding but with Jupiter it's pretty bright so you won't need much gain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ibbo Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 likewise I used mine the only downside is the software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philjay Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Same here, used it on lunar, solar, Jupiter and Saturn and it works OK, as Steve says the software is a downside though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xanthic Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I used Firecapture. What were you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ibbo Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) I don't think FC supported it then and the Ascom driver was not available Edited March 8, 2014 by Ibbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philjay Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 The qxvideo captire that came with the cam, very clunky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ibbo Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) The qxvideo captire that came with the cam, very clunky I had more colourful phrases for it esp after the 19th crash in a row I will see if I can find the images IIRC they were quit sharp well worth the effort Edited March 8, 2014 by Ibbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
