... Many thanks for the assistance Clive, that is most welcome. Neither Martin nor I have access to Vista, so we depend on such tips for that OS. But we have...
Hello Carsten, ... <snip> ... I can confirm it does play nicely once the drivers are installed. I must also confess I do not like Vista so formatted the drive...
... Hehe, Hasta La Vista :-) My old XP desktop needs to be replaced soon, so I think the new one will most likely be running Kubuntu 9.04. -- Carsten A....
- Clive and Carsten : thanks for the prompt reply: I need to understand this. I am into my 3rd week of thrashing about with Vista and my Toucam: I want to...
... Hi again, Not quite. What you need to do is 1. Install the driver as per the instructions provided by Clive. I guess it is important to follow the...

Hi, no one here having an Idea? The CAM-Mount (maybe you know it under the name Nexstar GT or Celestron Advanced Mount GoTo) can be controlled via Ascom...
I've asked this before... :O) I would like to guide on an planet that I am also capturing, with a single webcam, Perhaps using a centre of gravity function (as...
Hi there, I would like to know if there is any chance that a Meade Lpi or other V4L (a usb video grabber for instance), may work with wxAstroCapture. Thanks in...
Hi, Currently we only support the PWC driver through V4L2 but no other cams - it is hard to test without having them. So I really don't know if and when - at...
Hi I don't know what you are refering with 'the mount can't be found' I have a HEQ5 which is pretty similar in control and it supports NexStar and ST4 like...
Hi Clive, Atik2c is a regular webcam underneath. Would you mind to let us know what operating system you are refering to? Then it is also helpful to know what...
Hi there: There's a group of us working on supporting the Meade DSI in Linux - the techs have the camera taking pics, and one of the next steps is to have an...
Hi! I thank you for the quick and straight answer. I was wondering if a Meade LPI was a good choice (16s capture out of the box...), but I've red elsewhere...
Hi Clive, First of all thank for the quick answer to you too. I'm not an experienced astro imager, I'm just starting with first experiments. I had luck to find...
Hi Giampiero Sorry if i write in italian. con kstars puoi gestire in tutto e per tutto la tua montatura, non so sinceramente se fa autoguida, ma puoi...
Hi Michele, I'll surely ask for advice about controlling the scope through KStars soon. Since you do not perform autoguide yet, the question about this still...
... Yes, kstars have the autoguide feature. Anyway, it isn't so advanced or good for imaging in my personal opinion, i use it only for pointing sometimes, but...
Thank you Franco. This is sort of a surprise because I see no mention in the on-line manual. I'll surely give it a try. To be honest the only "interesting...
Hi Giampiero, I have only used Kstars a couple of times and found it wanting in a lot of areas. I use Xephem for the star program as it has a lot more...
Hi Gord, wxAstroCapture is not open source it is just free to use for anybody. Reasons are multiple mostly related to our freedom not beeing limited by time,...
... Hello Gord, Thanks for asking. It would indeed be nice to support DSI. Martin just explained how it works for wxAstroCapture, so I have to agree with him...
... Giampiero & Clive, wxAstroCapture only issues guiding commands, not goto commands, that is correct (there are no plans to make wxAstroCapture a goto...
Hi there: Thanks for the replies, Carsten and Martin. Indeed INDI support for the DSI is planned, so once we have the command line interface working well and...
Hi Clive, Thank you for expressing your opinion. At the moment I'm sure I can't cope with source compiling (even for a try before buy approach). But I'll keep...
Hi Carsten, First of all, thank you for the clarification. Second: I apologize for the misunderstanding, I'm not asking for goto in wxAstroCapture. It's fine...
