how can I choose between two ZWO cameras in the profile wizard?

[Stuart Taylor]

I have two ZWO cameras connected via a Pegasus UPBv2. The main camera is connected in NINA and is imaging fine, but I am trying to create a PHD2 profile using the wizard. Unfortunately when I select ZWO camera from the dropdown it is selecting my main imaging camera (as indicated by the pixel size it detects). 

I know how to select between two cameras when connecting manually, but how can it be done in the wizard?

Thanks

For now, the best way is to temporarily unplug or power down the imaging camera long enough to create the new profile.  You can do this remotely if needed by controlling camera power or by temporarily disabling the USB port that the imaging camera is on.  Once you've completed the profile definition, go into the Connect Equipment dialog and use the 'branch' button to the right of the camera pull-down to fully specify the name of the camera you want to use for guiding.  That will be remembered going forward so this is a one-time activity.  This is an inconvenience in the Profile Wizard that will be eliminated soon.

Regards,

Bruce

ha ! me too. wound up getting OGMA 678mc instead. Only workaround for me was to unplug the imaging camera

I was having the same problem. It's down to the ASI drivers. The solution I found was to us ASCOM drivers for your ASI cameras. PHD2 doesn't get confused that way.
