Equinox Image 1.7.1 is now available. This is a free update for all registered users of Equinox Image. There is no separate update installer so you need to...
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,...
MacSpeech, makers of iListen voice-recognition software for Mac, have bravely soldiered on for some years, but their product never approached the accuracy of...
... Sorry, I don't. I'm entitled to a $99 "crossgrade" because I have iListen. Unfortunately I can't take advantage of that right at this moment because of a...
This is a very interesting announcement. The purchase price is $199, with a cross-grade from iListen is $99. There's a show special on at the moment where you...
Hi astromacs, I'm looking for a DC to DC adapter for my MacBook Pro. Any suggestions or are we stuck with an inverter? Will the Apple airline adapter work...
Until Apple licenses the MagSafe connector, the only option I know of is to use a 120v inverter and the regular wall-wart. It's way inefficient though. ... ...
... Hello, Ron, Aren't we all!? I don't think that's going to happen. The MBP needs 18V, not the 12v that the PowerBooks required. There is no way to step...
Thanks guys for the replies about the 12v converter. At least its a logical explanation I hadnt been able to find elsewhere. another question for you - I...
You might want to take a look at the second drawing here: <http://imjeffp.blogspot.com/2006/12/telescope-connections.html> The Hap Griffin cable (or the...
Thanks, yes the Xti still requires a usb cable to download images, and the 3mm jack to operate the shutter for more than 30 sec. or view images on video. I...
Finally going to order a new DMK 21Ax04.US camera. With my MacBook, does it matter if I get a USB or FireWire camera? I'm leaning toward USB for resale value...
Hi Jeff - I notice that Milton responded to your post on the Astro IIDC group. I would recommend purchasing the firewire camera and Astro IIDC to operate it....
Thank Alan. For the group: Milton says Astro IIDC doesn't support the USB camera. and that there are no Mac USB divers for the camera. So FireWire it is! Jeff...
Equinox 6 Users: The Minor Planet Center (MPC) has posted the the first comet data file for 2008. Go to the Misc folder and open the URL List.txt file with...
... Hi John, I'm not sure what you need. For a screen capture I use these shortcuts. Press the (Shift-apple-3) keys all together and a complete screen shot...
Hello to the group! I'm a new member and would like to pass on this interesting information from the author of Cartes du Ciel planetarium software normally...
Thanks John. I need to be little more specific. I was looking for a hardware frame grabber. That is, something to grab frames off an analog B/W camera. I...
John, I use an EyeTV250 from Elgato with a Mallincam. It does a good job but converts to MPEG2. I've been looking for an individual frame grabber for a Mac but...
Hi John W. The Canopus ADVC-110 does a great job at individual frame grabbing. I got it from the Apple store. Like the EyeTV250, it has a composite video...
Hi John, I'm new to firewire cameras used for astrophotography, but I know of one application that sounds like it could do the job. Astro IIDC. It is now ...
Hi Ambrose ... Astro IIDC looks good. It does not work with a frame grabber and analog camera. Although it looks like a good alternative (with the DMK...
... John, Sounds like you are all set. I have used a Dazzle Hollywood DV bridge, an ADC converter which is also firewire and Mac ready out of the box. I have...
John, you may be waiting a long time for your stuff from Scopetronix. According to some folks on the digital astro user group, Scopetronix is out of business....
