I recently got an Orion StarShoot Astrophotography Camera and have had difficulty getting it
to work right. The software that comes with it AstroCap seems horrible. The start/stop mechanisms
are vague, the images won't appear. The best I've been able to do is see scan lines and some
color light or dark variations on the screen after messing with the exposure and the gain.
Popping the camera into the reflector or the refractor telescope yields nothing. I'm told
there is other software that is better supported and more current including SharpCap
and NINA. However so far neither of those recognize my StarShoot with the ASCOM
drivers loaded. 

Can someone tell me precisely what drivers I need to get the Option Starshoot (the original)
to work with SharpCap NINA or some other software? A link would be much appreciated.
What I downloaded from Orion have been AllInOneDrivers.ZIP AllInOneASCOM.ZIP and
ASCOMPlatform 6.1 and later 6.5. The only software where I'm able to deliver even 
a poor image to the laptop has been AstroCap. Or if there's a new and improved 
AstroCap beyond 1.3.9 do tell!

Same issue with NINA. I get image with Astrocap and it seems to work well. I believe the driver is not compatible with NINA. Have you gotten a work around yet?

I get an error that camera readout not included with driver or some junk like that. If I can't get it working in next day or 2, I will uninstall NINA and find another program to work with. I need one to be able to set up long exposure over many frames and to communicate with PHD2 for dithering and junk
