I just received a QHY Minicam8 mono combo.  I am having a problem getting the filter wheel to work,  I attatch the camera using the native driver, then when I go to attach the filer wheel there are only ASCOM drivers and if I use the ascom driver I get and an ASCOM error Unable to connect to QHYCCD FilterWheel.  Reason: Please connect camera first!".  I have read that I should connect with the filter wheel native driver but none is showing.   

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Mike

Did not realize I had to install “Third Party Support” for NINA, SharpCap, etc… in the AllInOne QHY driver package
Once I did problem Solved
