Hi SonotaCo-san,

We would like to build a new - official - meteor observation place in Hungary. we plan to use UFO software for it... (future licenc buyers here Wink )

Have you any specific information about the ZWO ASI2400MC-PRO COLOR camera with Sigma 8mm f/3.5 EX DG Fisheye Circular, bayonet Canon in regards with UFOcaptureHD2 ? Can the software handles well this specific camera? in HD?

I found mixed reviews about different ZWOs' cameras in the english and japanese forums, but no one mentions this camera.

Best regards
Gábor

Hi
Sorry, I have no information about ZWO ASI2400MC-PRO COLOR.

I tested ZWO cameras in 2014. I made a modification of UFOCapture for ZWO device driver. Once it worked.
But the result was not so good, and it became incompatible with other cameras, so I gave up using ZWO cameras.
Since then, here are very few users of ZWO cameras.

Recent UFOCaptureHD2 has the function of manual assignment of FOURCC code. Therefore there is possibility that ZWO camera works with UFOCaptureHD2.
But it must be confirmed by actual test using the camera. I don't know which FOURCC code is used by ZWO latest device driver.
UFOCaptureHD2 runs without license short time for tests. Please test by yourself changing the FOURCC code if you have ZWOs.

Please be aware below.
0)Slow shutter.frame stacking,or slow frame rate cannot be used with UFOCapture
1)Built-in noise reduction function in USB cameras may modify the image and affect the detection of meteors.
2)Setting of USB cameras must be done automatically outside of UFOCapture
3)USB cable length and limits

Please let us know if you got successful result.

Thank you for the quick and detailed answer. Fortunately we are in the planning phase...so we can choose a better camera type for the job.

In the UFOcaptureHD quick guide you mentioned the Panasonic DMC-GH3 camera for HD imaging and lots of professionals use SONY A7S II cameras ... these are the best options nowadays with UFOcaptureHD? ... if we choose an already tested system that would be the safest way to build a working system.

Working 4K or C4K systems are below . They are all great!!
ILCE-7s3 (a7s3) is thought as the best, but no one tried yet.

Up to 3840x2160/29.97p
Sony ILCE-7s(a7s,a7s2)
https://sonotaco.jp/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4350

Up to 4096x2160/59.94p
Panasonic DC-BGH1
https://sonotaco.jp/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4688

Panasonic DC-GH5s
https://sonotaco.jp/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4697

As for HD30p, Imaging Source DMK33GX290e (GigE interface) is used on multiple stations.
This is low cost, and cabling is easy.
