Is Canon EOS R10 supported?

[nityanath]

I recently downloaded Backyard EOS software and bought the latest Canon EOS R10 for astrophotography. Is EOS R10 supported by the latest Backyard EOS software?

It worked! Thanks so much for your help.

I was reading around on forums on this site that EOS SDK version 13.15.10 was released 06/23/2022 and it supports R7 and R10. Is a new pre-release available from O' Telescope?

Thanks

According to the Supported Cameras list here --> https://www.otelescope.com/byecameras.html/ the EOS R10 is not yet supported by BYE. The latest pre-release was made available in  March, prior to the release of the supporting SDK. There may also be some changes that need to be made in BYE to  fully support the R10.

I am a user, like yourself, and as such I am not privy to the development and release plans of O'Telescope for BYE or BYN.

Thank You for quick response.

Any update on BYE's support for the EOS R10 camera?

[astroman133]

It has been several months since anyone has mentioned the R10, so perhaps some things have changed.

I have BYE 3.2.3 installed and it uses version 13.16.10 of the EOS SDK. According to Canon this version of the SDK does support the R10, but the R10 is not yet on the BYE Supported Cameras list. This could mean that nobody has a) provided some additional information that the developers need to add support to BYE for that model or b) it could mean that they need a volunteer to test a pre-release version of BYE with the R10.

Hopefully they will respond with a path forward.

Please try this download with your R10.

setup-BackyardEOS-v3.2.4-RC1-x86.exe

It won't connect the camera, but you'll get something similar to this in the log files, send me those numbers.

Here is the information from the log file after I had tried to connect my R10 camera. Let me know if you need further information.

Thanks!

Thanks, give me 1 week and I should be able to make it work, those numbers confirm the sdk supports the R10.

Good news for R10 users.

Please try this download with your R10.

Make sure that it connects, takes still images for both RAW and JPG qualities, that LiveView works including 5X zoom, and that Planetary Mode works for downloading and creating videos from LiveView frames. Also for still images, you should be able to select the full range of exposures, as well as ISO values and f/stops when you use a lens. That exercises the majority of the camera-specific features that BYE makes use of.

I hope if there is some functionality that I did not mention that someone else will chime in.
