Is anyone using VMware fusion to run Backyard NIkon on a MAC? My issue is connecting the camera. I have a late 2011 Macbook Pro running the latest OSX. I'm running VMWare fusion version 8 and I just installed Windows 10 from the Microsoft website. Everything runs beautifully. The theory on a VMware machine is that everything is wrapped in Windows such that an application can't tell the difference. However, Backyard will not connect with my Nikon D5500. Windows itself recognizes it and I can look at pictures on the camera using the included Nikon USB cable but Backyard will not connect. I did install backyard Nikon on my old Gateway desktop running the same version of Windows 10 and it does work so I know my cable and camera are good. I believe as long as the SDK is using all Windows components it should be transparent. I know a lot of people would love to run this on a MAC and this would be an easy way to allow that. Guy wouldn't have to lift a finger and it would open this up to a lot of folks. I've seen the results of this software from a buddy and it's amazing. My question is if anyone else has successfully done this? My second thought is that I have read many of these threads and I see that people have been able to run this on one windows machine but for some reason a problem on different machine. So my issue may have nothing to do with VMware on a mac so if anyone has any tips to try, please let me know. My system: MacBook PRO 8,1 late 2011 model Intel i5 processor 16GB memory OSX El Capitan version 10.11.5 VMware Fusion 8.1.1 Windows 10 Home 64bit version 1511 Build 10586.494 NIKON D5500 Backyard NIKON 1.5 ( I tried 1.4 as well) Thanks, Mark

Dear, I use the Nikon Z50 and imaging works fine but when I click frame & Focus the application doesn't give a live image. I can take a snap and see the image but the button Live view seems to do nothing. Tried these things: Reset Nikon Z50 setting to factory defaults Checked Nikon firmware (=latest) Reinstalled my laptop (windows 10 Enterprise 64 bit) Installed a new laptop with Windows 10 Enterprise but 32 bit version Always the same result which makes achieving focus very hard. Firmware Nikon: C 1.10 LF 1.00 BackyardNikon version 2.0.11 Premium Do you have any suggestions? Clear skies. Tom

Bonjour, est-il possible de faire fonctionner Backyard avec un Nikon D3 ? J'ai tenté l'expérience mais l'appareil ne se connecte pas. Est-il nécessaire de posséder un câble particulier ? JM

Help, 1st time posting... Just bought the byN premium and think its great software! I'm having some issues though... I've tried 2 scenarios: 1. Running Parallels with Win10 on MacBookPro OS High Sierra 10.13.4 and 2. Ran out and bought a HP Laptop running Intel Core i3 8th Gen and Win10 (yes, I want to get this working!!) I set up a capture plan on the Mac and it shot the correct number of shots, however the exposure times were off. When I switched to bulb I started getting the "you need a serial cable" issue. So I promptly went out and got a HP/IBM based laptop. Same quirky issues and the log files attached are from the HP/IBM laptop. The exposure times are off and the following error comes up when I hit Bulb in the capture plan: 19:03:03 Imaging session started. 19:03:04 Imaging session cancelled 19:03:04 [kNkMAIDResult_NotSupported] (kNkMAIDCommand_CapSet, 33042, kNkMAIDDataType_EnumPtr, 350152664) I updated the firmware in the D810 before all these tests, i'm thinking it may be the cable??? I had the camera set to M and S (as well as timer and Mup trying to diagnose the issue). Please let me know your thoughts (so I can return the HP/IBM, lol) Cheers, Jim logfile-[20180922-17h29m50s844]-[11432]-2018-09-22.txt logfile-[20180922-17h42m39s529]-[12972]-2018-09-22.txt logfile-[20180922-17h55m03s453]-[8720]-2018-09-22.txt logfile-[20180922-18h43m00s154]-[9064]-2018-09-22.txt

I just purchased Backyard Nikon. Can I not focus my lens using the software? Nikon d7200 I have a few lenses but am not able to see the fine fouser in "Frame and Focus". Am I doing something wrong? Does it have some sort of an additional configuration that needs for it to show up? Its really frustrating because that is the main reason why I purchased the software.

I was hoping I could get some information as to why the Nikon D3000-D3300 are listed as "Unsupported", and the D3400 is not listed at all? I currently have a Nikon D3400, and was hoping to use BackyardNikon with this camera.

Hello, can someone advise me why I can only take one exposure of a group containing more than one exposure when shutter = Bulb with my Nikon D810?? I tried the older 2015 initiation and the 2016 initiation, with the same result. I've also updated the firmware to the latest version. Camera settings are as follows: Dial set for a Single exposure, Menu item Electronic Front Curtain Synch = on, Auto Focus off, ISO Manual. Note: I tried it with Electronic Front Curtain Synch set to off, it doesn't matter. BYN Exposure settings - 2 Exposures, Shutter = Bulb, f1.4, 1 second, ISO 1600, no pause, mirror lock = 0. When I initiate the exposure the display says 1 of 2, the image is taken, then I see Aborting flash briefly on the screen, then Busy flashes, then the first image is downloaded, then I get a windows error sound. End of sequence. I tried multiple exposures with Shutter=1 second and all the exposures work fine, it just doesn't work on the Bulb setting. Thanks Claude

I have searched the forum and support and don't see this question anywhere. I am using a trial version. I absolutely love the ability to focus on the PC and not stand on my head trying to focus the camera. I tested out the capture plan sitting at my desk and it all went perfectly. Then we went out to shoot last night. Everything was fine, I was able to focus with the Bhatinov mask. Then we went to take pictures. The first photo took, and then everything stopped. If I turned off the camera and back on, again I got the first photo and nothing more. I tried a different tethering program and same thing so it isn't necessarily a BYN problem. I spent some time trying to figure out what it could be and then it came to me. When I sit here at the desk I was using my camera with a Nikon lens attached. When I went out to the telescope I had a non-CPU lens. Has anyone else experienced this and if so what did you do to resolve?
