Developing software is mostly fun, but it also takes up nearly all of my spare time. If you find FireCapture useful and would like to support me in continuing development you're welcome to donate a small amount of your choice.
To run Windows 98 using a image, you typically use , a versatile open-source emulator. This setup is popular for retro gaming and running legacy software on modern hardware. 1. Prerequisites Before starting, ensure you have: installed on your host system. Windows 98 ISO file (preferably Second Edition/SE). Windows 98 Boot Floppy image (if your ISO isn't bootable). Win-Raid Forum 2. Create the QCOW2 Virtual Disk Create a virtual hard drive with enough space (typically 1GB to 2GB is plenty for Windows 98) using the qemu-img create -f qcow2 win98.qcow2 Use code with caution.

It was back in 2008 when I got hold of a SONY newsletter announcing a new CCD sensor (ICX618) which promised fantastic sensitivity. Still working with an old webcam those days I instantly had the idea of replacing the webcam sensor with the new SONY sensor. It took weeks and dozens of emails to get the confidential spec of the new sensor. When I saw the sensitivity values it was clear: I had to have this sensor! The Basler Scout scA640 was the first machine vision camera on the market using this sensor and when I bought it the nightmare began: the included software was useless for planetary imaging and running the camera with the VRecord webcam tool was a complete PITA. Bugged by the inability to store even the basic camera settings I decided developing my own capture software.
What started as a solely private project soon turned into higher gear when fellow astronomers saw the software and insisted on getting it. I decided to make it public, included new camera interfaces and after years of continuous development FireCapture has evolved to one of the leading planetary capture tools. Developing the thing is only one part of the story: with a supportive community of users behind me I always had the feeling of someone 'looking over my shoulder' during the countless hours of programming. I can't mention all but just want to say:
Thank you guys !
