Hi, I used my Starfish camera at .2 or .5 second exposures in CCDsoft whilst imaging with my STL11. It worked well. But when I came back about an hour later...
That's good to know Rick. Don told me the Starfish wouldn't work with the MMOAG but didn't say why. What adapters did you need to make that work? Greg. ... ...
Not true. There is an advantage. I had trouble callibrating because the software picked a hot pixel. Cooling the camera and using a hot pixel remover for...
I would think a simple bias frame would help some. You are correct hot pixels should be suppressed at lower temps. I have been using the camera in very cold...
I have FLI a monster guider. It is a new product and they don't have a lot of adapters yet. They will be making more adapters as needed I paid only 650.00 for...
Have not seen this in MaxIM yet. New drivers and pluggins have been ok thus far. I will be trying a automation run shortly. I just got a FLI Prolone but it has...
this group http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/digital_astro/ have a problem detection of dew point for cold working they have all kind of info about but all...
I use it with the Takahashi new Q: (FSQ106EDX). This is the one with the rotating adapter added (like what's on the TOA 150). If this is what you have you...
Yes it is my summer here and it was a warm night around 22C or so. In winter I would not expect that as the cooler only took it down to about 9-10C. How do you...
Hi Max, I know the one. I ordered one a while ago and am waiting on delivery. Gee, you do a lot of waiting in this hobby! Greg. ... have ... MOAG/ ... ...
Greg, A bias frame is just a short cut, no other advantage. Exposures less than 5 seconds often generate very little dark current in this short amount of time....
How do you apply a master dark whilst autoguiding using CCDsoft or PHD guiding? Is it an option in CCDsoft? Greg. ... current in ... of ... dark of ... to ... ...
Greg, From a previous post: I have posted the latest software version for the Starfish camera for all PC platform users. This update is for users on the PC...
Greg, The latest version of PHDGuiding supports dark frame subtraction. Also, in our MaxIm DL camera plugin, we support some image filter operations. Most...
Thanks Bob. I was running Vista 32bit home premium. I've downloaded and hopefully that solves it. It seemed like some sort of competition for the port or...
Hi, I'm now seeing a very similar behavior with the new drivers with MaxIM 4.61. Symptoms include connection to camera taking 2 or more minutes then camera...
Hi Bob, I am running Vista Home Premium. I downloaded those new drivers and when I tried to open them the page would flash on and off and I couldn't stop...
Greg, The current drivers work under Vista 32 bit. They will not work under 64 bit. I'm not sure I understand what you were trying to tell me below. If you...
Bob, I just received my Starfish camera and am planning first light as an autoguider. I have the OLD Losmandy Gemini system with RJ-45 type motor connectors....
Hello, I assume this is for Bob, but it is open for anyone to answer. I have operated the Starfish on my laptop successfully with ccdsoft 5, and PHD. My laptop...
Wayne, It was good for you to check first just to be safe. In this case, your assumption is correct. The guide port outputs are optically isolated and are...
Dan, You should use the latest version of software that may fix your problem. From a previous post: I have posted the latest software version for the Starfish...
Dan, Just another note on the PC drivers. I have a new version that I will post tomorrow on our web site. It has some additional bug fixes and will be...
Thanks Bob, The newer driver you recommended gave a different error this time. A necessary driver was not found Eror code = 217 (0xd9) Thanks, I'll check in...
I've posted the latest release of the Starfish software for PC users. It includes the latest camera firmware files as well as updates to the CCDSoft and MaxIm...
