Apollo-M USB3.0 Mono Camera (IMX174) Question

Post by pedro »

For those here using an Apollo-M USB3.0 Mono Camera (IMX174) camera I have a few questions?

1- Can I use it with Firecapture 2.6 (Ascom driver) or I have to use Firecature 2.7 (native driver)?
2- The Ascom driver works well with Firecapture or it is better to use the native driver?
3- Where can I find the Ascom driver (could not find the link)?

thanks in advance

With Firecapture 2.7 (native driver).


I do not look at the sky with the eyes of an astronomer, but of a person looking for the beauty of nature.
