Re installing drivers for Starlight Xpress filter wheel

[Andrew INT]

Hi All,

I have recently acquired a new laptop and am in the process of installing all my software and drivers. I'm running Sharpcap Pro to control my Starlight Xpress filterwheel. Although I can rotate the filters using the SX control software, SharpCap does not list the filterwheel under the File-Hardware tab. ASCOM is finding the camera ok, so I'm guessing I may be needing another ASCOM driver for the filterwheel. However, there doesn't appear to be one anymore on the website.  Am I in need of a driver, or have I made some other mistake?

Thanks,

Andrew

My first astro camera was a Starlight Xpress Trius though I didn't have their filter wheel. I just checked my Starlight Xpress downloads folder, and it has various drivers and stuff from 2014 to 2019. If you wish I can zip the folder up and post it for you to download and check to see if there's anything useful for you. 🙂

You can find the filter wheel driver in the SX website  in the section Support … Resources… Software Download ..
