MY EQUIPMENT
What I use
I use Skotiq on Windows with a ZWO ASI1600MM-Cool, Pegasus NYX-101 mount, ZWO EAF and EFW, and PHD2. The NGC 891 image on this site came from eight nights with that setup.

Other equipment
Support for domes, covers, switches, rotators and weather devices depends on their drivers. These devices and native DSLR connections have had less testing.
Open Settings → Connection → Platform Capabilities to check available connections. If you need help with a particular device or a headless setup, send me its model and driver details.
