Canon 60D

ok thinking of using sharpcap pro never used it before but I like the idea of the polar alignment tool and would like to use for planetary imaging maybe as well ,at the moment I use NINA for my dso imaging. this has a three point polar alignment plugin but im not liking it .i want to have a good go with sharpcap pro before i splash out on polemaster or ipolar.
my one question at this time will it work with my astro modified canon 60d i tried connecting but its not seen im guessing i need a driver from somewhere.

Hi,

to get the Canon DSLR to work you will need to install the ASCOM.DSLR driver (and the ASCOM platform if you don't have it already). There is a thread on Cloudy Nights discussing this driver : https://www.cloudynights.com/topic/7076 ... ntax-sony/

I should point out that people have had mixed results with the ASCOM.DSLR driver - some people find it great, others struggle to get it to work reliably, or even get it to work at all. It's worth a try...

I think it should work for polar alignment if you get it working nicely - I must admit I have never tried myself

cheers,

Robin

Hi,

the ZWO120 should work no problem - just plug it in and run SharpCap Much less hassle than the DSLR!

cheers,
