<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1998682, member: 15199&quot;]Most of the camera software for windows 8 and beyond is written for onboard cameras and control rather than the traditional separate external&nbsp; usb webcam ( which is essentially what a usb microscope is). I use an astronomical (webcam) camera with windows 8 and a regular stereozoom triocular, but you have to twink windows 8 ( doesn&#039;t work in 8.2)each time you load it in. So I go to an independent digital camera if I have a lot of work to do. I have several computers still with winXp that seem to work with any of the older programs.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The software is usually coded off shore and licenses for release sold to companies such as celestron where almost everything comes from China. Usually you don&#039;t get a real manual to the software and no help numbers. The software may have a manual&nbsp; on the CD. Your main source of info is the various user groups for digital microscope/telescope lines. </p><p><br /></p><p>Some programs are coded under contract and sold by the scope maker or independent. Some of these with frame registration and stacking may hit $500, and there you can get manuals and help if you have a registration. They spend money to make it work with the Win 8+ and Linux, Mac systems and then you pay for it .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
