Introduction
Voyager 64 bit is compiled from the same Voyager code you've been using so far; therefore, there will be no differences in use and configuration compared to what you already know. Its creation was necessary in order to increase the management and processing performance of data and large files generated by the latest CMOS cameras with very large sensors (from 24x36 mm onwards).
In fact, there are no longer the 3GB limits of addressable memory typical of 32-bit applications, even if Voyager was optimized to use the available 3GB efficiently.
64bit Drivers
To use Voyager 64 bit it is necessary to use both ASCOM and proprietary 64 bit drivers. As a rule, each device manufacturer already provides 32- and 64-bit drivers in the same installation package. In some cases it is necessary to download a dedicated 64-bit driver package such as for Moravian cameras or cameras that need to be connected to Voyager using the ASCOM drivers.
Devices without 64-bit drivers cannot be used (although using the Device Hub or the old ASCOM POTH it is still possible to try to use them indirectly with all the derived reliability limits).
For any problems encountered with the use of the drivers, it is NECESSARY to contact the manufacturer/developer directly. Many of these drivers are in Beta status and Voyager is not responsible for any malfunctions or differences in operation between version 32 and version 64. Voyager does not use different code between 32 and 64 bits.
Installation Files
The 32bit and 64bit Voyager installation files are different, the 64bit setup files have a trailing “_64bit” before the file extension.
Both versions are available from the official Voyager website https://software.starkeeper.it/#download_voyager_section
