John, That's good to hear. The previous release of MaxIm DL v5 had a problem (that Max reported) but Doug was able to resolve it pretty quickly. MaxIm DL is a...
Yep works just fine, I reported it working on the MaxBeta group. I don't know when V5 will be released but it is getting better/closer all the time. Max...
Is anyone using this combination? I can run the Starfish with CCDSoft - but if I try to intialize that set-up in CCDAP3 - I can't get past the guider...
Mike, Earlier this year there was a problem when using CCDAP3 and MaxIm. John Smith made some changes to CCDAP and I made some changes to the camera driver to...
I was wondering what set up folks were using to do this. I have a TAK 150 and an FSQ106. What filters are necessary to do lunar and planetary work? Has anyone...
I also posted this on theStark-Lab group because I don't know if this is a PHD problem or a Starfish driver problem... Hello I am unable to guide with PHD and...
Dale, Sounds like it could be a conflict between the drivers in PHD and the MaxIm DL camera plug-in. Try removing the Starfish camera plugin from the MaxIm DL...
I've used TeleVue Powermates successfully for doing planetary work. That, in combination with your TAK 150 should be a good combination. Barlows work well...
I finally figured it out... I often close the lid on my Dell laptop to about an inch open until the screen turns off. For some reason this affects PHD guiding...

Greg, All of the camera control programs we support can take a picture with the camera but for planetary imaging, the name of the game is frame rate. You are...
$33 gets you a device that plugs directly between the Starfish camera and the AUX port on any Meade Autostar 497 driven telescope. That includes all of the...
Had a devil of a time with the driver this last weekend. Just wouldn't connect, or it would connect erratically in Maxim 5 RC1 (i'm currently running RC3). ...

uploaded the wacked hack-job on the .inf file to the files section, basically just comments out the "starfish camera" section. -esy ... RC1 ... shows ... file ...
Erik, You need to go back to the original ".inf" file. The two entries for the camera are by design. Basically, the camera boot-up procedure is a two step...
I just acquired an uncooled Starfish Guider to use on my side by side setup. The main scope is a 5" f/8 refractor and the guide scope is a Vixen 80 MM Apo...
Al, Thanks for the 'pat on the back'. I'm glad you really liked the camera and will pass along your praise to Ralph and Scott here on the project team. Ralph...
