Subject: Re: iRez Stealth Fire work with Astro IIDC

Yes, that did it - Thanks.  

I just purchased a Meade 200LXR and am considering getting a Canon 350D for 

astrophotography.  I had been using an ETX-105 with a Quickcam 4000 and a sony digital 

camera.  I had this StealthFire lying around and found your software -- not sure if it will fit 

in somehow.  I'm wondering if the Quckcam or iRez can be used for autoguiding?  Any 

other suggestions for how I could use it?

The iRez Stealthfire has always had something wrong with it -- after it is on for a while 

there is a vertical "band" in the image (not always in the same place).  The image within the 

band is slightly darker than the remainder of the image.  It does this with all video 

software so it must be something in the sensor / circuits.

Hi Randy;

It will only work with the iRez StealthFire camera if you check mark  

the "Enable CCD Over Drive register optimizations" item in the  

Preferences window.

We no longer have any of those cameras here to test with and will not  

be getting anymore in. iRez discontinued them several years ago and  

are still sell their remaining stock out.

I have the iRez StealthFire webcam.  Will this work with Astro  

IIDC?  I downloaded the

program today, but the video window shows "unregistered version"  

bouncing around the

screen and it is totally black.  I tried increasing the brightness  

all the way and changing the

Base CCD exposure,  but nothing worked.

Thanks,
