Some people take great photos using SharpCap, for example. https://www.sharpcap.co.uk/ However, the more advanced features require a paid Pro license... But it's only $18 for an annual subscription. However, after installing the program, there should be a limited-time period during which all advanced features are unlocked. So you can try everything out before deciding whether to pay for the Pro license. You might not even need it—the features in the basic version might be enough for you...
And, of course, there's NINA. But it's quite complicated to understand, even for me :-)
