Just re-read your first post Mark, you say you used the QHY5 for this.  Do you have the QHY5 that doubles as a planetary camera i.e. the QHY5V?  

I have the basic QHY5 and Sharpcap doesn't recognise it even though the drivers are installed on the laptop so I assumed it was not intended for planetary work.

I used the QHY5 because it's the only mono CCD I have.  It's the basic QHY5 and used their own QVideo capture software.   

I didn't like QVideo very much so I'll see if I can use an alternative.

Update SharpCap. The QHY5 has a native mode using the QVideo software and an ASCOM driver. The ASCOM driver should be recognised by the latest SharpCap.

Thanks Duncan and Mark I'll give that a try.  I was wondering whether there might have been some extra software I should have installed.

Sorry to slightly side track your thread.
