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...
Max is right. You need a driver to work with K3CCDTools. We're working on some software for the starfish that should help planetary imagers as well as a...
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...

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...
Hi Bob, I had posted some issues earlier on this topic in this forum. I've been working with John Smith at CCDWare to get the Starfish running automatically...
Mike, It sure sounds like the same problem that was fixed in the MaxIm DL driver. I'll have to check.... maybe the fix didn't get rolled into the CCDSoft...
Hi Bob, I sounded like that to me as well, but there were a few other headaches that John was able to fix. It would be nice to have the option to drop the...
