Options for capturing software

fielderda

I've just ordered a ASI1600MM cooled and have a CGEM mount with and Orion Autostar guider with PHD2 guiding software.

What capturing software packages typically work well with the ZWO cameras?

I was thinking of either MaximDL or Sequence Generator Pro.

This is my first foray into CCD/CMOS cameras - just transitioning from DSLR.

Any suggestions are most welcome!

lots of softwares compatible with ASCOM you can use

APT works well too.

Maximdl 5.has trouble seeing the camera

Sam@ZWO

MDL5.24 and up should have no problem

I have used my three ZWO cameras under Windows 7 on the following software packages with good results:

Sequence Generator Pro using the ASCOM drivers

Sharpcap in DirectShow mode

FireCapture

All work well.

Many thanks all for your suggestions,

I'm trying SGPro right now and have been successful at running PHD2 SGPro and Stellarium on Windows 10. Stellarium needs to be run before PHD2 since there seems to be a conflict. Just waiting to receive my electronic ZWO filter wheel and new filters designed for the ASI1600MMC

FireCapture seems to be a good planetary software but haven't been out in the field yet.
