Orion StarShoot Deep Space Color Imager II Software

[Joe Wagner]

I have inherited an Orion StarShoot Deep Space Color Imager II and Orion has not updated the software to be compatible with Windows 7. Does anyone know of any other software this camera may use so I don't have another "astronomy themed paper weight"?

Thanks

Is this the G3 camera??? If it is it should run on windows 7, as I have the same one. also the latest update for the camera can be found at the usa site....http://www.telescope.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=101501#

Unfortunately not. I believe Orion has a new  Orion StarShoot Deep Space Color Imager III and this is the previous version.

I know it may sound a bit obvious but have you tried the 'Chat' mode on their website Button at the top of their page. I'm sure they would be more than happy to help.

Yeah and I was told they weren't sure if there would be another update to the software or not. I guess I'll have to dig out my old laptop and run it from there for now unless I can find another way to run it on Windows 7.

If you have drivers for an earlier version of Windows can it not be run in compatibility mode ?

Alternatively

I have a Logitech Quickcam 4000 pro and there are no drivers for Win 7 only Vista so what I did was follow this Youtube video to get it working.

Could be worth a punt.
