I stumbled on this group quite by accident. The Starfish camera sounds intriguing. I just started using a 2nd scope for guiding with my ST-2000XM. I am...
Dave, We've had a lot of interest in the capability to have the camera itself execute the auto-guide software. We have done some work on this however, right...
The 201XT didn't work well because it was too hard to get focused and it had a very clunky interface. It would provide the location of the star image and a...
Will we be able to get one of these anytime soon? If MaxIm adds support for the DSI Pro II I may bite the bullet and go with that if it is going to be a while....
Dave, Since the Starfish is still not ready for sale, I would not suggest that you hold off a purchase of another camera if it meets your immediate needs. We...

All: I've posted a new photo, taken of NGC 7331 using a Pt Grey Research "Flea" color firewire camera through a Mogg 0.6x focal reducer on a C-8. the C-8 was...
Tim, Nice shot with lots of 'faint fuzzies' in the FOV. That Pt Grey camera can go pretty deep on those 5min exposures. Keep the picts coming and next time...
Things have been a little quiet on the list for the last few months but that is about to change. We've been working hard on bringing the production version of...
A while back we started a redesign of the camera's enclosure to make it much smaller and lighter. This was the direct result of some feedback we got from some...
