Dale, Sorry, but the Starfish camera does not support binning. At least not in the way you are thinking. This is because of an architectural difference...
Bob I finally got a few breaks in the overcast to try my new Starfish and it is amazing. I was guiding in about 5 minutes. I attached it to an Astro-physics...
Dale, Excellent report! I'm always pleased to hear from our customers. Especially when they have such kind words to say. It makes all of the hard work spent...
Dale, I just noticed that your post was made at 4:00AM this morning. Looks like you had a really good night under the stars after putting up with the clouds...
do you have the spectro responce of the cam I made some beautifull spectro of the sun whit 1200L\mm grating but do not know why look like noting in IR or UV...
Jack, It is probably your camera. The spectral response of most sensors falls off pretty fast outside the 400 - 700 range. You can see the response curve of...
It is great that the response falls off quickly outside the visual part of the spectrum. Even the best refractor scopes are not well corrected in the IR or UV...
I wish it were so but the sky was terrible, high cirrus and sometimes ... what. So I spent a lot of time waiting for the muck to move. The heavy dew and 36F...
One of our customers for the Starfish camera, Michael Sandy, put up some pictures of his equipment on his web site. His site is presently being updated but he...

David, Now that the starfish camera is finished, we're turning our development activities to our imaging cameras. The Starfish camera was designed as a guider...
Hey everyone... Sky and Telescope has a spot about the starfish camera on their web site: http://www.skyandtelescope.com/equipment/home/7975922.html Dennis Di...
Congrats Bob That is great and well deserved. I am really enjoying my Starfish. I hope they expound on the "too many features to explain here" of the camera...
Congrats from So Cal as well! I do hope there's a hardcopy writeup in the next S&T. Do they typically do that? -Tim. ... hope ... camera and ... of those ......
... Tim, I'm not really sure since this is new for me too. I did hear a rumor that they were going to have a write-up in the September issue. Someone from the...
There is a nice image of Starfish being used on a high-end system here http://www.darksights.com/Equipment.htm I am using my Starfish on a Televue Pronto which...
The Starfish looks great, but I must say the red anodized equatorial mount clashes horribly with the unfinished wood interior of that observatory. Either that...
Okay - where should I go to order some of that galvanized pipe? I just could afford the teak after everything thing else - but don't you like the way the...
Hey Mike, My big mouth ;) Hope you took my tongue in cheek comment the right way. Beautiful setup. Enjoyed looking at the pix of your observatory construction....
