Hi there,
No that's strange. The resolution is taken from what the camera says it can do and the readmode. Could you activate logging (in the driver options) and sent the logs to me please? (They should be in your user's appdata folder).
Thanks.

Thanks.
The driver returns the right sensor size for all the modes. The default bin 1x1 being:
2/12/2023 3:3:38.656: Connected Set: Binning mode: RM_1X1
2/12/2023 3:3:38.656: Connected Set: Width: 4500
2/12/2023 3:3:38.657: Connected Set: Height: 3600
2/12/2023 3:3:38.657: Connected Set: Gain: 0.87 e-/ADU
2/12/2023 3:3:38.658: Connected Set: Pixel width: 600
2/12/2023 3:3:38.658: Connected Set: Pixel height: 600
The reason why the images are so small is that Prism sets the size before taking the image to 648x488:
2/12/2023 3:3:47.839: NumX set: 648
2/12/2023 3:3:47.841: NumY set: 488
I don't know why it chooses these dimensions. Maybe try to unhide the readout mode in the driver options. I hide it because some software gets confused by it as for SBIG it sets the readout mode but also the resolution (which is a weird SBIG cameras do).
MY driver is ASCOM. There is no AO standard in ASCOM, so I can't provide access to it. Prism, SkyX, MaximDL and others can access the AO because they don't use ASCOM. They go straight to the underlying system driver, like my driver does. So unfortunately, until ASCOM publishes an AO interface for clients, I can't provide access to it. Which is annoying.

Thanks Cedric. Seems like a problem beyond my ability to resolve, both on the setting the readout mode and in driving an AO unit.
Nice work you've done though.

The readout mode is easy: in the same place you activated logging, there is a checkbox "hide readout". It's checked be default. Uncheck it and see if it makes any change to the way Prism or SkyX behave. It makes a difference for SGP.
For AO, I'm afraid there is no solution via ASCOM. The only possibility is to go straight to the underlying system driver, or create an interface the software recognises (e.g. SX Lodestar) and translate the commands to the SBIG AO. But without access to any AO system I can't do that.

The problem is that there isn't a standard interface for AOs. Phd knows of one (SX), and Maxim DL of another (SBIG). So various programs can implement specific drivers for specific AOs, but it can't be generic. I don't know why ASCOM didn't define a standard interface for them. So even if I created a driver the SBIG AOs, the interface wouldn't be known by any software, so that would be useless. All I could do is create an emulator for SX for example, and the few things that know about could communicate with the SBIG AO. But that would be a bit dodgy and wouldn't help many people. It's very frustrating.
