Drivers
OGMA cameras are some of the most compatible on the market
Connect natively:
Some imaging software, such as N.I.N.A. and APT, will automatically recognize OGMA cameras without the need for a driver installation.
If you have software that supports the camera natively, select the camera listed under OGMA. Don't select the camera under ASCOM.

ASCOM Platform (Windows)
Important: To use the OGMA ASCOM-compatible drivers, the ASCOM platform must be installed first.
We have two ASCOM drivers:
- ASCOM driver for most OGMA equipment (Ver 6.5.26247 - August 06, 2024).
- ASCOM driver for OpenOGMA equipment (Ver 1.0.1 - September 28, 2025)
INDI Platform (MacOS and Linux)
See more details below and checkout the manual for a known issue about adding the AP08CC camera to INDI.
INDIGO Platform (Windows, Mac, Linux)

Software
Software that has been tested with OGMA (in alphabetical order)
APT - Astro Photography Tool
APT, or "AstroPhotography Tool," is a versatile software for astro imaging, supporting a wide range of cameras and devices since 2009, developed with insights from global astro photographers, compatible with MS Windows Vista through Windows 11.
Astroberry
A Raspberry Pi image that contains a suite of pre-installed programs to manage your astrophotography equipment and imaging sequences
AstroDMx Capture
Nicola Amanda Mackin developed a cross-platform astronomical image capture application on Fedora Linux. Nicola ported AstroDMx to the Raspberry Pi OS (32 and 64-bit), macOS, Windows 10/11, and ChromeOS running under the Crostini virtual environment.
Astroimager
A front end for imaging and auxiliary devices INDIGO agents. Its purpose is to control the primary imaging camera, filter wheel, and focuser to allow proper framing, focusing, and capturing from a single batch of images to a complicated series of images with different parameters and settings.
INDI
A complete ecosystem for control and automation of astronomical devices generally used with LINUX and MAC operative systems. It includes software like KSTARS and EKOS
Firecapture
A suite of planetary capture tools
N.I.N.A
A software to automate the process of taking images of deep sky objects such as nebula and galaxies using a sequencing model
PHD2
Telescope guiding software that simplifies the process of tracking a guide star. It can be used in combination with other sequencing software, such as N.I.N.A.
SharpCap
Software for astro imaging including Planetary, Lunar, Solar, Deep Sky, and EAA (Electronically Assisted Astronomy)
