Hello I am having trouble getting Sony a6000 to work with apt Nina firecapture or sharp cap with this driver. Any assistance appreciated. Thanks Matt

I ran into a little problem trying to run the BuildandInstall script. I loaded Visual Studio and ran the script and I get

C:\ASCOM.Sony.Camera-master\ASCOM.Sony\CameraModel.cs(8,7): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'Newtonsoft' could not be found (are
you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) [C:\ASCOM.Sony.Camera-master\ASCOM.Sony\ASCOM.Sony.Camera.csproj]

Hello,

I am a contributor for NINA and I am looking into this driver for a few people that would like to use this but I found a weird quirk especially for usage in NINA (technically also usage in general imo). The driver is debayering the data it receives from the camera and for software that doesn't support multi-plane-images it tries to bayer it again. VNG is a lossy algorithm for debayering data and you cannot restore the bayered data from it again. That does make the driver a bit useless for the usage in NINA.
Would it be possible that you modify it so it sends actual raw monochrome data to NINA without going the process of debayering it first?

Generally it is assumed that ASCOM drivers provide raw camera data as it comes from the camera. Modification, like debayering, is unexpected behavior.

Kind regards,
Stanley
