Thanks for all the welcome replies!

I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself here. I have recently gotten back into astrophotography using much of my older gear. I currently live in New Mexico, near the Sunspot Solar Observatory. For some extra info, here is my current setup: Meade LXD75 Mount x2 - seems to work fine with NINA and other software (once I dug out the official Meade Serial to RJ11 adapter and a good USB adapter) Orion EON 80ED Quadruplet Refractor - 500mm focal length, f/6.25 AstroTech AT111EDT refractor - 777mm focal length f/7 AstroTech AT65Q Refractor - 422mm focal length f/6.5 50mm guide scope with Orion StarShoot Autoguider Orion StarShoot Deep Space Imagers (Pro V2, II, III) - can't seem to get these working (need 64-bit ASCOM drivers) Orion 5 position FIlter Wheel Using an older Windows 7 laptop with NINA, PHD2, and ASTAP for plate solving.

I hate to revive an old thread, but I have several older Orion cameras (StarShoot DSI Pro v2, DSI III, and a DSI II) and can't seem to find 64-bit ASCOM drivers anywhere. Outside of MaximDL Essentials I can't get them to work. I can get ASCOM to connect when using the ASCOM Diagnostics in 32-bit mode, but nothing outside of that. I tried 32-bit version of NINA as well, and it initially connects but then spits out an error and I cannot get any exposures. I am really getting back into astrophotography, but can't seem to find the correct/modern drivers for this camera. For some extra info, here is my current setup: Meade LXD75 Mount x2 - seems to work fine with NINA and other software (once I dug out the official Meade Serial to RJ11 adapter and a good USB adapter) Orion EON 80ED Quadruplet Refractor - 500mm focal length, f/6.25 AstroTech AT111EDT refractor - 777mm focal length f/7 AstroTech AT65Q Refractor - 422mm focal length f/6.5 50mm guide scope with Orion StarShoot Autoguider The aforementioned Orion StarShoot Deep Space Imagers (Pro V2, II, III) Orion 5 position FIlter Wheel Using an older Windows 7 laptop with NINA, PHD2, and ASTAP for plate solving. So far, everything I have works fine with the 64-bit Windows 7 I am running other than the Orion cameras. If I can get it working on my current Windows 10 machine I will probably upgrade the control laptop. I also have a couple of older Meade DSI cameras with the accompanying 12V cooling fans (these were a separate/add-on product), but I haven't tested this yet. Drivers for these older cameras seem to be very hard to find, at least any that work with modern software. Anyone have any advice? (outside of getting a newer/more modern camera. I don't currently have the budget for that)
