EOS 1200D support?

[Clive123456]

I would like to use my 1200D for astronomy (with an 8 inch Meade LX10 Telescope) and am considering buying  Backyard EOS However the trial version while connecting to my camera reported no camera details and gave no functionality (see screen shot) is this a limitation of the trial license or is my camera not supported? If it is a license limitation I don’t see how I can evaluate it with the given level of functionality.

I believe that the trial version is a fully functional license, with an expiration date.

 

BYE uses the Canon EOS SDK version 2.14.  According to Canon this version supports the T5 (1200D) however I do not see the T5 as a supported camera either in the V3.0 user manual or on the BYE web site.  It works with my T5i just fine.

 

When you connect the camera to you PC and power it on, does Windows react and recognize the camera? Does the Canon EOS Utility program work with the camera?  If so, then BYE should work with it.

The 1200D is not supported in 3.0.3.  You need to use the 3.1 RC03... follow the link below.
