Occasional amp-glow in QHY8 images
Since upgrading the drivers for my QHY8 to the StarSci driver so I could benefit from the most recent Nebulosity 2 I've occasionally seen amp glow in my images. I have reported this before and not surprisingly this was either dismissed as user error or simply ignored. Not acceptable. There is a bug somewhere and it needs to be fixed. I can't have 20 minute exposures ruined because the amplifier in my camera is not turned of as it should be. Either Nebulosity isn't reliably telling the camera to turn the amp off before each exposure or the driver isn't reliably acting on the command to do so. This -never- happened with the old Tom van der Ede driver which I used for several years with excellent results. I was forced to upgrade to the StarSci driver because Nebulosity lost support for the TvdE driver. This meant I was stuck with an unsupported Nebulosity version. I took a gamble and upgraded my driver. I lost.
Below are the top left corners of three consecutive image taken with Nebulosity 2, as indicated by the file names that anyone who uses Nebulosity will recognize. In the middle of the sequence the amplifier is left on during one exposure, ruining it.



If either Stark Labs or QHY has ideas on how to debug this and determine the root cause I'd be happy to help.
Nebulosity 2.4.5, QHY8BASE.sys 0.0.9.0, Win XP Pro. Additional version information available on request.
