CMOS W/MaximDL Experience?

I am investigating the possible use of 16-bit CMOS cameras from ZWO or Player One with a robotic scope using ACP/Scheduler and MaximDL. Some years back, at least, ZWO cameras might not have played well with Maxim, but these cameras now have ASCOM drivers. Bottomline: Is anyone using a ZWO or Player-one CMOS camera with Maxim DL?

CMOS+ACP

Your are describing the configuration of the AAVSOnet telescopes.

They all use CMOS cameras and the ACP Scheduler configuration with MaximDL.

Works well

HI,

I use an QHY600M-PH together with MAXIM V5 and/or V6 and it works without problems under WIN 10 and 11.
