HI,

I do not have a Basler but here on the website

https://www.sharpcap.co.uk/sharpcap/cameras

they are listed.

Why not contact Robin and ask him what the problem could be ?

Genika Astro definitely works with Basler ... (at least the IMX174)

Perhaps there is a clue in "Use Pylon 6.1.3 or earlier."

Robin decided against Basler with future version 4.1, therefore I have no hope that even Pylon 6.1.3 (yes, it works) will work in the future.

I never tried Genika Astro. Because it's licence is bounded to three cameras and I am testing a lot of cameras, it is not compatible to my requirements.

License is no more limited to three cameras in Genika Astro. But you can use FireCapture as well, works with Basler.

I figured it out as well; Laura, thank you very much for the hint.

Genika works with Basler, not Touptek. Difficult then.

Firecapture... wow... Basler is supported, but does not run... seems to be a common problem when I look into the support forum.

Looks like we are stuck to the familiar sensors.

Finally I have had time to test the IMX545 (a2A4096-30umBAS - Basler ace 2) version from Basler.

It is quite fast:
4096 px x 3000 px at 8 bit: approximately 25 fps
4096 px x 3000 px at 12 bit approximately 15 fps

I did nothing to this image. It is just stecked, everythign else is raw.

(Bob, I guess it is offband, I am never going to learn it anyway).

I am a fan of small pixels. The seeing is more a problem, but the details are nice. When I am bored I am going to try a 1.2 x 1.2 um pixel camera, which was intended for a different application...
