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...
I am curious how you took the picture of the telephone that appears in the manual? I still haven't been able to check starfish at night, but I couldn't get...
John, I attached a small lens from a security camera to the Starfish. This lens happened to be a lens with a CS-Mount so I had to buy a CS-mount to T-mount...

Bob, Having not had the chance to meet you in person, it was a pleasure to do so "virtually". If you were toying with a TV career, I'd suggest you hold on to...
Actually, it was a pretty weird interview. This guy with a handicam came out of nowhere and just started shooting. He didn't introduce himself nor talk about...
Yeah, it was a little creepy when he didn't answer your questions. Part of working with the "G.P." (general public). I learned that when I was a guide at the...
1. I wanted to get a backup guide cable for my Starfish. Can I just get any ol' 6-conductor cable that has the pins oriented correctly or is there something...
In the Starfish sensitivity page, "full size image" is listed as 2047 x 1536. How's that possible since the chip used in Starfish is listed as 1280 x 1024? ...
... There's nothing special about the cable itself. You do have to have to pay attention to the pinouts of course. ... One thing you can do is to use the...
Hojong, That is an error on our web site. It refers to the prototype version of the Starfish camera that used a 3.2 MPixel image sensor. We never released a...
I am pleased too!!! Great shot. Everyone here at Fishcamp is happy to see you picked the 'California Nebula' as your first target. Keep posting and let us...
