Windows Software Development Kit
Apogee's Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) provides DLL's, API documentation, and example source code for Apogee Imaging Systems' customers and approved 3rd party developers. Apogee software provides a common interface for all physical camera types. Once you adopt camera control for one camera, you have control of ALL Apogee Imaging Systems cameras.

CCDsoft (Astronomy, General)
CCDsoft from Software Bisque, is an astronomical image processing and CCD data acquisition program that supports all Apogee Imaging Systems cameras. Written and tested by experienced astronomers, CCDSoft combines power with ease of use. By using CCDSoft in conjunction with TheSky (also from Software Bisque), you can control both computer-driven telescopes and CCD cameras from your computer, creating an awesome system for astronomical observations. No company has done more to provide fully integrated observatory control for amateur and educational astronomy at such a competitive cost.

Alcor System PRiSM Software, Version 7 (Astronomy, General)
PRiSM is software for recording images from CCD cameras, as well as the preprocessing, processing and analysis of astronomical images. PRiSM also controls telescopes, filter wheels, and focusers, and includes an efficient Skymap tool. PRISM uses the ASCOM standard to drive all available hardware in the market : telescopes, filter wheels, focusers, ccd cameras, domes, and cloud sensors. The lower cost Light version maintains full hardware support, but removes about 100 image analysis and other advanced features.

Stark Labs Nebulosity 2 Software (Astronomy, General)
Nebulosity (Windows and OS X) is simple enough for the novice astro-imager who wants to capture his or her first images, yet powerful enough for the advanced imager who wants convenient, flexible camera control in the field. In addition to complete control of the camera, Nebulosity provides image pre-processing and stacking for a fraction of the cost of other astro programs.
