I would like to use Metaguide for collimating my 8" SCT and Metaguide requires a DirectShow driver for the camera.
I was not able to find information about the correct DirectShow driver for this camera, the ToupTek ATR3 1700 KPA Color, nor where to download it from.

Can anyone help out?

Try the standard DS driver: ToupTek Astro: Electric filter wheel & Astronomical Cameras | Pro Astrophotography Equipment

Thanks Andrea,

however my security software gives me a warning to not download from this site as it has been rated as dangerous.
So I am hesitant to take the risk.

Yours is too skittish. My enterprise server on Win10 Pro gives me no problem at all downloading it.

Thanks Andrea,

I downloaded it and checked is manually on viruses and it was clean.

Thank you
