| FocusMax handles autofocusing routines. It's set up to connect to MaxIm DL for the camera, FocusPro for the focuser, and ACP for the telescope. Used for automated focus routines within ACP and ACP scheduler. | FocusMax handles autofocusing routines.

| Operates the camera and guiding. A required part of ACP image acquisition and remote operation. There are other programs that can access the camera (it is ASCOM compliant) but MaxIm DL is made by the manufacture of the camera so it's probably the best to use for the largest functionality. | Operates the camera and guiding.

| The Flat Field Panel is on the rotating dome thus a direct USB connection isn't possible. This software creates a virtual USB connection through a small SBC (Single-Board Computer) sitting next to the panel on the Dome. this has to be launched to operate the Flat Field (with Alnitak Control software or through ACP). | The Flat Field Panel is on the rotating dome thus a direct USB connection isn't possible.
