Question for QHY294M-users

Hello,
I've tried different settings but didn't see much of a difference, what really made the difference was the usb connexion.
If i use my 5m usb 3 extension cable with this camera, the mount, filter wheel and auto focuser on a usb hub everything will work, but if I add a guide camera on top of it I can expect crashes or lost images, on both cams. I tried to use a powered usb cable, but the camera wasn't recognized. I used a powered usb hub, it would add some stability but I would still have problems.
The best solution I found, was to plug everything but the QHY294M on a usb3 hub, itself connected to a 5m cable and then to the computer. And to use a separate usb plug, with an extension cable, for the QHY294M. 
Its the only way I've found to have everything perfectly stable, and still get about 5 meters between the pc and the mount. 

Hope this helps, clear skies.

Thanks. I use the cam with the original cable on it's own USB-3-port

But still having trouble.

Thanks Bob,

in fact I do not need to extend the existing cable. The original 2m works fine for me. So that shouldn't be the bottle neck.

Hi there,

what USB-traffic settings do you guys (and girls) use?
I've tried some numbers I've found in the internet but still struggle with crashes in APT caused by not loading the images from the cam.

TIA

Try checking the box for High Quality CCD in the settings.  This fixed it for me with the ASI6200MM.
