I’m really enjoying my QHY268C. Using it with Starizona filter drawer and IDAS NB1 for narrowband imaging.

Re: M20 First light with ZWO ASI2600
Nice job Robert. It looks like QHY will be making a camera with a mono version of this detector later this year. I am looking forward to having a camera with one of these 6th Gen. Sony back illuminated CMOS sensors.

Re: ASCOM 6.5 released, upgrade or not?
Luca Marinelli
Ray,
The ZWO native driver requires ASCOM 6.5 since a few months ago. I have been running it with APCC Pro with no issues. However, I think some users had problems with APPM and ASCOM 6.5. It would be nice to be able to run the latest version of the camera driver and not have to revert to past versions to be compatible with tracking models now that ASCOM 6.5 has been officially released. Thanks, Luca

Hi Mike, slightly off topic, but in regard to your wise suggestion
about doing a Restore Point.
Have you personally had success with “Restore Point
Recovery” under e.g. Win-10 (PRO) ? I have yet to get one to work, on
either of my two PC’s. They just go for an hour, wasting my time and patience,
pretending to be working at it, fail, reboot and leave things rolled back
to the original system it had started out from. Tried any number of previous
Restore Points, not just one, on either PC. Failure Report gives a bogus
Microsoft unhelpful suggestion to turn off all antivirus programs – did
that, doesn’t help
Had it work just once, (probably a fluke), after
discovering that ACRONIS Backup 2014 ... “turns off Volume Shadow Copy” – a
required Win-10 Service for successful RP restoration, but have forced it to
stay Running twice, prior to initiating the Point Restoration today – no luck,
and the service was STOPPED by something, after the reboot of a previous
failure. I am at a loss. Something in Windows is turning it off, perhaps even
Windows Defender AV, even after disabling it in previous attempts. Also tried
disabling MALWAREBYTES, no difference. Even Microsoft tech support (yeah, I
know, contradiction of terms) - had no luck after running on my system for
hours.
Would love to have Restore Point function work, after a year of
attempts.
Any advice would be most appreciated.
Beginning to wonder if the recent Win-10 Build 2004,
from a couple of weeks ago, is the culprit. There is an ever increasing
pile of posts about that recent Build’s problems corrupting working apps
and drivers, on the web – might even match Win-VISTA’s popularity
:-)
Anybody else getting “System Restore Point” failures, or
found a fix?
Thanks,
Joe

Well, its not really my method Dominique. :-)
I had been reading Roland's posts about the new keypad features and how the new tracking rate correction feature is used by modeling stars on a single declination line on the path that the imaging subject will be taking. So I thought, why not do the same with APPM? Apparently others using APCC Pro have been doing this for a while. I only do this because I set up and break down my mount for each use. If I had a permanently mounted rig, then I think that I would do an all sky model and use that. -- Dean Jacobsen http://astrophoto.net/wp/ Image Gallery - http://astrophoto.net/wp/image-gallery/ Astrobin - https://www.astrobin.com/users/deanjacobsen/

Excellent Dean,my modeling with the C11 on 90 points worked very well for NGC6384 on 2 nights, then 2 days ago on M10 it was not working at all. So tonight I will certainly test your method by modeling only the part of the sky corresponding to the displacement of M10.
