Linux equivalent of SharpCap

[Sneezy24]

Hi folks,

Just dug out my modded MS Lifecam to attach to my Dob to have a go at Lunar imaging.

I have an old Netbook that runs (stumbles would be more accurate) Win10. But it is sooo slow!

I have an old Tosh lap-top that runs Ubuntu reasonably well, is there an equivalent package to SharpCap for Ubuntu? Don't really want to go down the Wine route, not sure if the old Tosh would cope.

I have seen Qastro, but it doesn't seem to be supported anymore?

Thoughts?

 

I'm fine with processing (I have a reasonably powerful desktop that runs Win10 (and Flight Sim at hi-res, so the spec is good) that I can post-process with, it is just the capture that I need Ubuntu to do.

(No, I'm NOT taking the desktop into the garden!)

 

Thanks chaps and chapesses

You can use Firecapture or OAcapture, the later is project of a guy on here @JamesF I think....👍🏼

Many thanks, I'll take a look!

 

If the clouds ever disappear I might try to get some images!!!

BTW - I assume you mean FireCapture (not fireculture)
