Old Versions
ChromeOS Downloads
- This build of AstroDMx Capture is intended to run on the Crostini Linux virtualisation environment under Chrome OS x86-64. Currently, ARM Chromebooks are not supported. It may be possible to use an ARM based ChromeOS machine but the user would need to install the Raspberry Pi build of AstroDMx Capture. ChromeOS build 91 or above is required to run Crostini. The Crostini virtualisation environment is available in the stable channel.
- Due to a limitation of the Crostini virtualisation environment, this build of AstroDMx Capture does not support UVC camera types. For example, the SVBONY SV105 and SV205; and most webcams.
- There is significant lag introduced by the virtualisation environment which will vary with the specification of the ChromeOS computer. It is best to type control values rather than using the sliders.
- See the Known Issues page for problems currently affecting this build of AstroDMx Capture.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: 2024-06-03
Recent versions of AstroDMx Capture have been incorrectly flagged as ‘Dangerous’ by Google Chrome and so some downloads have been blocked. This is clearly a false positive most likely caused by the installer routine. The installers have been changed that should fix this problem. Microsoft Edge showed no such problem.
- In order to use Canon or Nikon DSLRs cameras you will have to change the default driver. Please see the technical help page for more information.
- For help installing AstroDMx Capture, see the technical help page for Windows Technical Help page.

Donation Information
If you find this software to be useful to you, please consider making a donation according to your means to help me continue to put in long hours, supporting and developing the software.
Some software developers call this coffee money in that, a donation of about 5 GBP is about the same as buying me a couple of cups of coffee. I think that this method is much better than requiring a user to buy a licence in order to have all of the features of the software. Whatever you decide to do, I hope that you enjoy using the software in whatever operating system you prefer.
