Altair Hypercam 26C - 2023 version
Altair Hypercam 26C - 2023 version
I've recently (Friday) got my Hypercam 26C from Altair but the firmware is different to the previous 26C. Ian has sent a new firware which allows the camera to operate via Altair Capture only. Anyone know of an ASCOM driver/firmware for the new camera to allow its use via SmartCap and other software?

Hi,
the latest Altair SDK I have is from mid December, and that is in SharpCap 4.0.9499 and newer versions. If you have a version of SharpCap from before that (for instance 4.0.9478, which is the latest available via auto-update) then please update to the latest version from the download page and give that a try. If that doesn't work then I will have to pester Altair for an even newer update
The ASCOM driver is separate, but may also be out of date - if we find that the updated SDK in SharpCap fixes the issue then we know what Altair needs to do for the ASCOM driver too.
cheers,
Robin
