Questions for new Nikon user

[Bennythesqueak]

Hi, hope this is in the right place, basically I have been using my DSLR to image for some time but I really fancy moving to using some software.  I have a Nikon D500 and a laptop with windows 7 so I see all looks good there.  My questions are (and sorry of they are obvious)

1) Is it a one time payment for the software and license?

2) i think from what I read for the D500 I do not need a lead, I can use my existing USB lead, is that correct?

3) do I still need to use a bahtinov mask or does the software have another solution?

thanks ?

Hi,

1) It's a one time payment.  You buy it you own it.  Upgrades have always been free so far.

2) Correct, as er the camera support grid the D500 can do BULB over USB so you're fine with only the USB cable.

3) You can use the software calculated FWHM to focus... though you can still use you B-Mask to confirm
