Hi All,
I am now desperate! Please help!
I am having a problem with my QSI 683 wsg-8. At first, I was getting an unusual artefact on my images when I used the Ha filter which I reported [here]
While investigating this issue I took the cover off and reseated the filter wheel (I noticed the filter wheel position was not perfect and I think the artefact was coming from light leaking through a small hole adjacent to the filter).
I decided to connect the camera to SGP and watched the filters move as I selected them i.e cover off. I noticed that if the filter wheel position was set in the control panel of SGP as Red, and I reseated the wheel carefully with the Red filter in position, I could go move through the filters in sequence as expected i.e. in the order I specified in the SGP equipement profile except position 8:
- Red
- Green
- Blue
- Luminance
- Ha
- OIII
- SII
- Empty
It seems to completely ignore position 8 (See figure 1 attached).
I looked at the QSI FW driver settings and it showed only 7 FW slots. So this seems to be central to the issue. I uninstalled ASCOM, QSI drivers and SGP and reinstalled them.
When I returned to the QSI FW driver settings, I now had 8 positions in the drop down but only 7 listed. See figure 2 attached. From the panel, I could move to position 8, but from the control panel in SGP, again, no movement when I select position 8.
I should add that the FW works fine in Maxim; but the native QSI driver for Maxim is a separate entity when you download the native QSI drivers so it seems perfectly feasible that Maxim could work, but SGP cannot.
Does this issue resonate with any QSI owners? - is there something obvious I have missed?
PLEASE PLEASE HELP!
Many thanks,
Simon
