Hi again

I have been given the chance to buy a used  QHY 5L-IIC - for guiding in PHD2. 
It seems to be usable in PHD2, but would appreciate a confirmation.

- Is anyone using this camera in PHD2 on a Windows 10 pc for guiding?

kind regards,
Morten B Kristensen

I have the mono version of that camera and it works fine. The pixels are a little large (3.76um). The color version will be a little less sensitive but work

I have the mono version too.  It's been working fine for about 6 years now.

Hi 

Just an update. The QHY 5L-IIC seems to work well with PHD. A small crop of the center of a stack, 45min total, near M31. Succes :)



kind regards
Morten
