Mark;

Your message was delayed because Yahoo Groups thought it was spam. I had to manually clear it before it would be passed on to the list. Several of your messages have been thrown in the Spam list.

Also the Sim CCD web site they list on the Yahoo Group works intermittently (it failed 3 times for me, then loaded, then failed to load again). I don't to see how this is of much interest to Mac people, as it's a Windows only Alpha app - which I suspect is looking for beta testers for a commercial product.  It's off topic for our list (read the Astro IIDC Description if you've forgotten what this site is about) and it was also off topic for the list it showed up on (SCT-Users).

I've had a few people leave the list lately because of all the off topic noise, so lets try and keep it on target.

straight away! There`s a new group looking for support for continued

existence called Sim CCD. The idea I understand is to simulate your

CCD`s for estimations of their optimum use. I`ve joined but there`s a

few downloads to begin with which my internet connection is going to

have trouble with this time of month. So I`m yet to see if Astro

IIDC`s firewire cameras will be catered for..Anyway here a link to

this group if any of you are interested...
