    Hi I have an Aluma CCD77-00 and am about to develop the control software for it and would prefer the SDK for the Python scripting over Maxim. Could I get a copy of it?

    Thanks
    Ashley

    Hi Ashley,
    I'll ask my development colleague @Adam Robichaud to get in touch regarding an SDK.

    Hi Ashley,
    Is the intent to run your script on Windows?

    Sorry for the delay. The gentleman who wrote the SDK is no longer with the company so I've been trying to update it to the most recent version and get a distribution ready for you between other tickets. I hope to have it ready shortly.

    If the Aluma (or any camera) has an ASCOM driver, you could talk to it via Alpaca using the Python Alpyca package https://ascom-standards.org/alpyca/. I don’t want to pollute this thread with details, so if you’re interested say so.
