I'm wondering if there is any trick to getting the Starfish to bin 2x with Maxim 5.04. I am unable to figure out how to do it via the guider settings. thanks...

Bob: I think I already have a Nikon to T mount device. I think I have 2 of them. I could be wrong. *** Regarding running the starfish on Linux. Well to tell...

Hi Bob, I setup a 1Ghz powerbook running OS 10.5.6 to use outside (in the cold). I had similar issues to the report by David Illig a few months back. Starlink,...
