Hi Milton,

I recently picked up a Pt. Grey Scorpion SCOR-20SO (1600 x 1200 mono) from the guy on EBay, and am about to give AstroIIDC a try (I'm waiting on a Firewire B to A cable).  From the feature list, it appears that it is possible to capture 16 bit video sequences and align and stack them.  Just want to confirm this is accurate before purchasing.  My main use will probably be with the 800x600, Y16 at 25fps (Format 1, Mode 6) for Planetary.  Also, probably will try the 1600 x 1200 Y16 at 7.5fps (Format 2, Mode 7) for solar.  I'll be running on a new Intel Macbook Pro - will AstroIIDC be able to keep up with these frame rates in Y16 out to disk?  Any other caveats I should be aware of?

Thanks,

Kurt Mihalco
