Unable to platesolve with QHYCCD QHY5L-IIM

[斎藤勇二]

Any time I try to platesolve with QHYCCD QHY5L-IIM using ASTAP, it fails with the message “downsample factor too high”, although the binning is set to 1x1 instead of 2x2. Changing the driver from native to ASCOM has the same result.

I have done this with SharpCap, which seems unstable in a highly polluted area I live in, and am planning to switch to N.I.N.A.

In Options > Plate Solver > ASTAP, try setting Downsample Factor to 0

Hello Dale, thank you for your reply. I will try next time as you suggested when skies are clear and tell you if it resolves the issue. Thanks again.

I tried tonight to platesolve with the setting as you said and made it with my QHY5L-IIM. Thank you again for your advice.
