Subject: Re: Camera for guiding

I'm interested in this thread because, as far as I know, Astro_IIDC is the only Mac software 

that makes any attempt at autoguiding. I'd like to see if I can make it work with my Sidereal 

Technologies-Mel Bartels dual-servo driven CG5 mount for some DSLR astrophotography. 

The Sidereal Technologies module features a Meade LX compatible wireless handpad unit 

that I can plug into from a KeySpan dual port adapter on an iBook. A guide scope with 

firewire camera attached for autoguiding and that should do it.

If that works then the only thing missing is a robust Mac stacking software that can handle 8 

megapixel camera-RAW files.

Maybe Milton could find a bigger Mac market if he spun off the autoguiding portion of his 

code to a separate application, whatcha think?
