Is SSAG the same as SSAGPro for deprecation? #1216

Hello,

checking the changelog I saw that in 2.6.13dev1 version you removed the support for "SSAG" Cameras:

But in the Camera selection dropdown I am using a "SSAGPro" Camera:

Are they the same? I am out? :/

thank you

@koalazak no worries, the camera will continue to work in PHD2 via the ASCOM driver!

Only the native (non-ASCOM) camera driver for the old SSAG camera has been removed since the driver library provided by Orion is years out of date and not compatible with our current development environment.

The SSAG Pro is a completely different camera despite the similar names. Generally speaking, any camera that has an ASCOM or INDI driver will work with PHD2.
