Or they run Windows via Boot Camp (on Intel Macs), Parallels , or VMware Fusion on Apple Silicon. But the “Wine on Mac” approach is fragile—modern versions of FireCapture often fail due to missing drivers or .NET dependencies. If you want the real, stable FireCapture experience, a small Windows mini-PC at the telescope remains the standard solution.

The interface flickered. But it worked.
