Orion Starshoot solar system imager III or IV
Orion Starshoot solar system imager III or IV
I have an Orion Solar System Imager III or IV ( I'm not sure which one it is). Will either one work with SharpCap version 4.0, and how can I tell which Starshoot version I have? Thank you. Denny.

Hi,
I'm afraid I can't help with identifying the type of the camera, but in terms of working with SharpCap, I would suggest looking on the Orion web site to see if there are any 'DirectShow' or 'Webcam' drivers you need to install for the camera (two different names for the same thing). If there are, install them, and then SharpCap should pick up the camera and give you at least some control over it (hopefully exposure and gain at minimum).
Some cameras do not need this sort of driver, so if you don't find anything like that to download, try anyway to see if it shows up in SharpCap.
cheers,
Robin
