Hi folks, After a long break from the hobby. I'm rebuilding my rig and was looking for some advice on cheap cameras for guiding. I'm a long time Mac user that...
I don't think you'd go wrong with a plain-Jane Meade DSI. Plenty sensitive and works with PHD Mac right out of the box. ... ======================== ...
... No it won't cause any issues with what I've done. I just don't use the APIs that Apple broke. That's not to say that Apple can't break something else in...
Congratulations to Alan Friedman (Astro IIDC user with a DMK camera) who got a Lunar shot on Astronomy Picture of the Day! Nov 30, '07 Very nice shot Alan. I...

I've been looking forward to this for a while. Sorry to start with a request, (but I'm sure you are expecting this one) when do you think it will support Canon...
Duane, DSLRs are definitely something we will support. And Canon probably will be the first one because this is what I also use :-) Currently I am not sure...
Georg, I am a relative newbie to this group. I appreciate your reply and your interest to provide the common folk, who love the astonishing content of the...
Using a DSLR camera for imaging through your telescope is quite esay to do but unlike an SBIG camera there is no way to autoguide your scope. And because DSLR...
I don't think there is anything that comes close to it on the Mac side. It is one request I've had for some time. I use an intel Mac and it's one of the few...
... Looking at the Shoestring web site, I see that one end connects to the Mac, while the other end connects to the mount (Losmandy G11 in my case.) But which...
... It does connect to the mount's autoguide port. The GPUSB is really just a relay box (TTL) with a USB connection. Simple, but very effective. ... Equinox 6...
Hi Dave, Is your AstroIIDC registered to the Mac or the camera? Is this the same camera that you had an issue with the firmware update? I can't recall how that...
Hi David, Could your camera have the Mac firmware bug? It is discussed in the Astro IIDC homepage in the FAQ section (last question). My 21BF04 camera was...
David, Reading Alan's response leads me to ask how old your TIS cam is because the latest models have the fix, according to John Berryman of their Charlotte...
... Thank you, Alan, for jogging my memory. I had, in fact, installed that firmware upgrade and then, of course, forgot about it. But I had kept the firmware...
... Thanks for replying. The camera is an older one and I solved the problem by re-installing the firmware upgrade. Please see my response to Alan Friedman. ...
Hi All, Here's a wide-field that I went out to the desert to capture last night: Link: http://tinyurl.com/2k6sne Taken with a Canon 10D and Tamron 17-35 mm...

Released today at MacWorld Expo SF. I ordered a copy ($99 at bisque.com). It's the "student edition" because the telescope drivers aren't finished yet. Also...
Thanks for the update on this. Will this be upgradable to the full version for the difference? When you get yours, and I know you I probably don't need to ask,...
