Two, I need more control over my zoom capabilities.
It is valuable feature for planetary astro-photography. For most EOS cameras Zoom x5 is very close to the representation "1:1" - "one pixel from the image, represents one sensor pixel". Using "Zoom +" and "Zoom -" you can increase/decrease the LiveView zoom level to 5x (or 10x if it is clicked two times). JT, Jim, or someone else can tell me I'm being "silly" about this but with BYEOS and NINA I can middle mouse zoom in and out all day/night long. My issue is that I cannot get past the Camera portion of the program. I tried APT two or three times, so anything I say I admit is unfair to the program. Luckily it hasn't done that during a Sequence though. The Camera functions work well however, it occasionally shuts down my 70D. My only wish is that I could pay to have them port BYEOS into their program. It's fairly new to the game but the Support on their Discord channel is amazing and the thing is Free.

NINA does that plus works with PHD2, Plate Solving, it has a Flat Wizard.

Eventually you will want to do Sequencing and if you get a Focuser or Filter Wheel you'll need software to control those too. It is finely tuned for my older 450D and, while no longer new, newer 70D. BYEOS just works and works incredibly well. I've used BYEOS for years and I LOVE IT! With that said, I am using it very little these days because I switched to NINA. I'll throw out my input and we have very similar setups however, there are way more experienced users that have already replied. But selecting either BYE or APT (and adding PHD2) will probably be your best start. There's a lot to consider when starting the "deep dive" into AP Imaging. APT has essentially the same functionality. It can even leave them on the Camera SD Card - but at the loss of Image Review functionality. There are other AP Imaging related programs that you'll hear about which will easily overfill your small 20GB storage capacity (and probably aren't needed unless you have specific need), but you may well need to add ASCOM for connectivity between your Bootcamp and the Mount (adds functionality to BYE/ APT and PHD2).įor Image Storage, BYE needs a "Temporary" Image Directory on the local machine but can then automatically move the captured Images to External HDD or USB Stick. The UI is much busier (confusing to a beginner), but more options are there.īoth of these programs support connection to PHD2 AutoGuiding, which will also need to be running in your Bootcamp. But still supports all the major functions of an AP Image Capture program.ĪPT covers both DSLRs and CMOS/ CCD Cameras and has more "peripheral features", but does the same basic AP Image Capture functionality. The developer works to keep everything happening on the main window in front of the user. Two of the most popular programs for DSLR AP Imaging are BackyardEOS "BYE" (since you list a Canon T7i) and AstroPhotography Tool "APT" (supports Canon and Nikon DSLRs).īYE is more popular with beginners and those looking for a Clean and Focused UI.
