Hi. You might want to run FontBook (in the Applications Folder), select all your fonts, and then select Validate. Then get rid of fonts with errors and...
Thanks for the suggestion David. I've tried several different scenarios with removing a corrupt font, and disabling others. Still no luck. I spent about 45...
I did a custom install leaving out the problematic Adobe Air and Adobe Media Player components and it installed properly. Thanks for the online and offline...
Starlight Xpress SXUFW-1T 7 position 1 1/4" filter wheel After nine weeks of waiting my filter wheel has finally arrived. I wonder if anyone else on the lists...
Couple of quick questions here: I'm thinking of getting a cheap webcam, like the Celestron NexImage. I have an older PPC Mac laptop. I want to image...
Hi Darryl, ... I have had better luck with the Macam driver with my NexImage, so you might want to try both to see what driver works best for you. If you can...
In looking to buy an inexpensive webcam, I was thinking of the NexImage. However, I am now thinking of the Unibrain Fire-I, since it's the same price, uses...
You have to hack the casing with a pen knife. On the Astro IIDC group site there`s a couple of files (in Other) where Jim Chung has made an adaptor with a...
My first firewire camera was made from a Fire-I board camera and an Altoids tin. It had some annoying linear artifacts which were a trait of this camera at...
Hi Darryl; I really would not recommend the Fire-I: http://www.outcastsoft.com/ASCASTROIIDC.html#CAMERALOW Due to a flaw in the TSB15LV01 chip (detached data...
Thanx guys for all of the info. I'm presently restricted to ~ $200 at the max, since we just bought a house, we need to have some expensive repairs done, and...
Hi Darryl, This seller is very prompt, reliable & cheap. The PGR cameras (better really than TIS ones!) are new & unopened. I think he`s put these away for a...
The seller (from magnitude-electronics) is an amateur astronomer who posts on the Astro-Physics user group. I am happy to recommend him also. Alan ... The...
Thanx Alan and Mark for your recommendations! That does make me feel better, especially since he is an amateur astronomer. His address indicates that he is...
Hi Darryl, I think that I said either TIS or PGR cameras will be better than the Unibrain offerings. Both the TIS and PGR cameras are excellent. PGR cameras...
Hi Darryl, I also have a Flea 2 colour 648 x 488 pixel model.(I believe the Flea in my link is a monochrome one-which`d mean superior resolution to the colour...
This seller had my new camera in the mail within15 minutes! I had to have it sent by way of a relative in LA as I`m in Australia & the seller has no...
Darryl, Before I take a short kip, I don`t think the Flea in my link has ROI capabilities by the way (I may be wrong) wheras the Scorpions which Alan & I have...
Mark; Yes the Flea has Hardware ROI, it says so in the Spec sheet from PGR. Also the "ROI" menu would not be enabled in Astro IIDC unless the hardware...
Thanks Milton, I haven`t checked that particular facility on my Flea 2 although I have on the Scorpion. What about the "bulb" or time exposure setting on TIS...
Mark; For PGR, the only model I know that doesn't support Bulb trigger is the FireFly MV. With TIS cameras, the .AS series do up to 1 hour exposures, and the...
That makes me think of Alberto who sometimes posts DSO pictures on the group's page... Mark. Sent from my iPod On 05/11/2009, at 1:04 PM, milton_aupperle...
LRGB chips for one-shot color (unfiltered pixels as well as R,G, and B-filtered pixels)? A cooled eight-megapixel camera, monochrome or one-shot color, from...
Hey David, Well, I'm not sure it means very much considering the ST-2kXCM can be had for $2.5K and the mono ST-2kXM for $3k at OPT. These two cameras are...
Perhaps, but perception is everything, reality nada. 8MP vs 2MP for $500 to $1k less; no guide chip, but USB 2. It will be interesting to see what happens to...
Hey David, The prices already have dropped, and significantly so, versus what the ST2ks cost when introduced. I know someone who, a month or so ago, purchased...
