1. Driver INDI QHY5. Camera is natively supported by PHD2 without having to use an INDI driver. Orion Starshoot All-in-one: 1280 x 960: KO: KO: N/A: It seems this camera does not have an INDI driver and it does not work natively either. QHY5-II (PL1-M) 1280 x 1024: OK: OK: Optional: Sensor MT9M001. No problem to be reported. Immediate connection.
2. ASCOM drivers are also included for the Orion StarShoot G3 Deep Space Color Imaging Camera, allowing use with a number of other popular image processing programs, such as Nebulosity, ImagesPlus, and more.
3. The Camera drop-down list shows all the camera types currently supported by PHD2. In all cases, the OS-level drivers for the camera must be installed correctly in order for PHD2 to connect to the device. If the camera uses an ASCOM interface, you'll also need to install the corresponding ASCOM driver for the camera.

For Aluma series cameras (3rd Generation drivers) the drivers are available on the supplied memory stick or by download from the product page. For 2nd Generation driver cameras such as STX, STXL, STT, STI, and STF, the SBIGDriverChecker supplied with the camera, is used to install and update the drivers.

I believe NINA supports Altair cameras, which they recently came out with the Altair Hypercam 269C and I am 99% sure the Orion G21 is just a clone of it. The capture software is almost identical to the Altair software, pretty much just a different name at the top. Maybe it would be an easy addition since they are from what I can tell the same camera.

Also the camera will randomly disconnect if I use the ascom drivers for the camera, though it was fixed by using the X86 version but seems to sill be an issue!
