Driver(s) for ZWO 1600MM-Cool + EFW

[groberts]

My ZWO1600MM-Cool camera is late 2016 + probably 2nd generation and I remember having signifcant driver issues when installing at the time. 

I've just acquired a new (refurbished) ThinkPad laptop to use with the camera + x8 EFW and would be grateful is somebody could confirm what the correct driver(s) would be for the camera/EFW and a source (presumably ZWO?). 

The one currently installed is v 1.0.0.4 but I presume this will have been updated, though would an updated driver work with a 2nd gen camera?

I just installed the driver from the website: https://astronomy-imaging-camera.com/software-drivers

You only need as ASCOM driver for the filter wheel, but install the main driver and ASCOM driver for the camera, this should do it:

 

https://astronomy-imaging-camera.com/software/ZWO_ASI_Cameras_driver_Setup_V3.0.0.9.exe - Camera Windows driver

https://astronomy-imaging-camera.com/software/ASCOMPlatform64.exe - ASCOM Platform

https://astronomy-imaging-camera.com/software/ASICamera_ASCOM_Setup_V1.0.4.3.exe - ASCOM Driver for camera

https://astronomy-imaging-camera.com/software/ZWO_EFW_ASCOM_Setup_V1.0.0.16.exe - ASCOM Driver for Filter Wheel

Install the Native ASI Cameras driver, that's the base driver needed to operate all ASI cameras.

If you want to control the camera in a third-party program e.g. SGPro, then you'll need to install the ASI Cameras ASCOM driver further down the list, alongside the EFW ASCOM driver below that.
