Hello,
I have a few ASI cameras and am familiar with ASIcap. I’ve been using the Studio suite for (I think it’s) two weeks now, but am not impressed with the live stacking app (issues around autocalibr with flats and darks) or the Img app (not configurable enough). I would get started with ASIcap for your 290mc: that app is just a little bit more configurable with regard to setting gain and offset etc. Once you get familiar with it, you’ll be able to capture both high frame rate planet videos and image stacks for things like small bright DSOs. I’m happy to put together a brief walkthrough if you wish.
