Hello, the first plugin for Nikon is available at the Astroart web site:

www.msb-astroart.com

The cameras supported are those with Bulb control via USB, (since 2013, so theoretically: D5200, D5300, D5500, D5600, D7100, D7200, D600, D610, D750, DF, D4S, D500, D810, D810A, D5, 1V3). Focusing requires the Camera Interface version 6.01. It's compatible with Astroart 5.0 too (without focusing).

The main problem during the development was that every camera requires a different DLL (this is installed by the Setup program) and possibly a slightly different control. You may report here your experience with your camera.

Some cameras may require to install the Microsoft Visual Studio Redistributable 2013, available at: www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=40784

Thanks!

By "focusing" do you mean Liveview or camera autofocus?

Will this ever be updated to use DSUSB to allow bulb control on older Nikons? - I have a D7000...

cheers

@Duncan:
None of them, it's just the proper working of the Astroart focus window. Focusing is obtained shooting real images (for example 0.2 - 0.8 seconds) because the realtime Liveview would not be sufficient for fainter stars.

@Gary:
That could be done in 2-3 days but I will not be able to test it. If you are available to make some tests with your camera please write me by email.

Hi Facavi,

pm'd you regarding testing DSUSB.
cheers
