Hi,

you should be able to use that camera either via the DirectShow (webcam) driver or via the Ascom drivers from the manufacturer. SharpCap does not have direct support for Touptek branded cameras. Usually the WebCam driver is best for high frame rate imaging and the Ascom driver is best for longer exposures.

Hope that helps, Robin

Hi, yes mine works fine mainly on direct show as I use it mainly for polar alignment.
I use ZWO cameras for my other work.
