I have been working on building a model with my Mach2 and when the view image screen pops up , it is blank, however the program is plate solving ok. I am using a qhy163 under ascom. Do I have something set wrong.

APPM's ASCOM window should automatically scale the FITS image appropriately for viewing, so you are not missing a setting. If you have an image that is blank please zip the image and post it here. You can use APCC’s Log zipper utility to locate images.
If you do not have an image, then on your next opportunity, enable APPM to save all images like this:
Then when you do another APPM run the images will be saved.

HI Ray, I have attached a image and it seems to show the stars. Not sure why they are oval ???. The software seems to platesolve but when the view image screen pops up I don’t see the image. https://1drv.ms/u/s!Alc02VkpqUfVaDqsUC39NGvl-jY?e=NOwybE Mike

You should check that you have the latest QHY ASCOM driver. It's odd that the image is taller than it is wide. Is that what you see as well? As for the star shapes, it could be drift or optics. What is the image scale? Which telescope are you using? -Ray

Not sure why image is taller than wide. I show it as 1761 x 2328. I do not see how I can have drift in such a short exposure. I am trying to use the nasa skyview test things ourt but am having a problem that it will not plate solve those images. any suggestions. I will check out the camera drivers. Mike

forgot to include that I am using a C11 edge with 0.7 reducer for a pixel scale of about 0.4
