Using Sony A6500 for astro imaging with a computer

[Kasper]

I own a Sony A77II camera and would like how to install ASCOM driver etc. Mick J mentions:  1) download the latest version of Ascom. Now where do I find this? 2) Download APT. I am new to this, but guess it means I have to download any astpphotography software I would like to use, like NINA for instance? 3) Downolad Doug Henson's Ascom driver for Sony. I think I managed to find this, but haven't dared do it yet. 4) Install Ascom with the few extras it needs. Which extras?

Hi @Kasper and welcome to SGL,   I am not super good with Ascom  but these url's may help : Ascom   APT

When Ascom installs it will download a few extras, APT is software for capture control, you will need software for processing the captures.

You may be able to use Nina or other capture software with Ascom - I don't know.  A lot to learn and you will have lots of questions but you will get the answers you need on SGL.

Have fun
