This group is for users of the fishcamp engineering STARFISH camera and related application software. The starfish camera is a long exposure, cooled image sensor, camera designed for the astrophotography and microscopy scientific fields.
The camera performs exceedingly well as a planetary imaging camera. A built in ST-4 style guide port allows it to be also used as an autoguider.
