Camera Software Compatibility
An ASCOM driver, DirectShow driver, and Meade's SkyCapture software are included on the CD packaged with this camera, however downloadable versions for those without an optical drive are no longer available from Meade. For your convenience, we have the ASCOM and DirectShow driver installers available for download here. The ASCOM driver is required for use with some programs like PHD2, though other may have some compatibility without the need for additional drivers.
