Issues With Losmandy Polar Scope and QHY PoleMaster
|
Jim Waters
I imaged for the first time in 3 months because of monsoons and other things last night.? When I tried to PA using my PoleMaster the device driver wouldn¡¯t load and I couldn¡¯t do PA.? I gave up trying to debug the problem and decided to use the Losmandy polar scope only to find that the reticle wasn¡¯t aligned.? I roughly aligned the mount and was able to do 3-minute subs.? When I purchased the polar scope I was told that the reticle was aligned and never bothered to check.? I talked to a friend today and his Losmandy polar scope wasn¡¯t aligned also.?
If anybody is considering getting a Losmandy polar scope spend the time to align the reticle.? Don¡¯t trust that its aligned...

Jim,
I have an i5 NUC 8 system and it shows the same Device Security error but it is related to Core Isolation (ala Virtualization security protection) and not due to the QHY system. I have the 168C QHY and Polemaster units and they seem to be working fine for me on my older generation NUC.? The drivers are just under a year old so new ones are needed given their camera releases. Have you tried the beta drivers which require some cameras to be firmware upgraded? Agree it is a pain if they have platform support issues with the drivers - good luck. Ken |

I also get an error with WIN10 when using the Polemaster app, where the refresh of the image lags in the 10s of seconds, which equals not usable for PA.
I have found that if I run an video in the background it "forces" the system to enable the Polemaster to refresh the image, and then it works.? ? There are a few tech websites that offer possible WINDOWS config settings that may help; I had no success, so just run a video in the background. Phil |
