Hi Milton,
So if I plug only the KeySpan adapter to control the scope and get control of the scope with your software, then plug in the KeySpan to control the exposure for for my 300D I should be ready to run?
Can't wait to see Astro IIDC 3!

Hi Dale;
Okay great.
Astro IIDC 2.04 always grabs the first serial port it finds - which
is pretty dumb in retrospect. The RA control should be fairly good,
but the Dec support isn't great.
In version 3.0 of Astro IIDC, it allows you to select which serial
port to you want to use. Also the guiding code has been completely re-
written and works a lot better, including being able to specify pixel
tracking accuracy (0.1 to 10 pixels) and dec direction (None, Up
only, Down only, Both) control etc.
And Astro IIDC 3 is about 6 to 8 weeks away from being released -
depending on any major bug issues.
HTH..
