Hey guys,
I recently got an Orion StarShoot All in one Astronomy Camera, which I wanted to use as an AutoGuider. Unfortunately, Orion went offline and I can't find anywhere a suitable driver for this camera. 
Here is a link to my camera: https://www.astroshop.eu/astronomical-cameras/orion-camera-starshoot-all-in-one/p,46766
Does anyone has the driver and is willing to share it or does anyone have a link to another website for orion drivers?
Thanks a lot in advance

I have a similar issue as well.  I want to update my older slower laptop to a new laptop.  The camera is simply wonderful and one which has worked well for me for three years…..  but can't find a way to make PHD connect to it on the new laptop.  it is a shame because the Starshoot Autoguider is the best I have ever used.  Something is missing, and to be honest, I am not sure exactly what is missing.

I just updated a new PC with 64 Ram with starshoot autoguider.

You must use an installer for the driver to install on D:\Windows\Program files (x86) directory 64 bit and 32 bit. Otherwise PHD2 provides a message can not connect to autoguider cam.

You must use the three different installs provided with Orion starshoot autoguider. You install the driver first and the ascom second and use the other installer to install 32 and 64 bit on D:\Windows\program files (x86). You can not just unpack the file in that folder, it must be entered into the PC driver registry, using the installer.

Yesterday, I posted the old Orion autoguider installer and drivers link, but got no response. Search the net, it is out there.

Works on Win 11, and to my surprize the guiding was 0.6”, better than on my other PC. can’t explain why, same calibration on both pc.

Are you trying to use a 32 bit driver on a 64 bit machine? I have an Orion full frame OSC and I can’t get it to work with my 64 bit software. Just a thought.
