Subject: Flea3 up and running but a couple of simple questions

I have the new Flea3 camera witht the icx618 CCD connected to my MacBook with a 800 to 400 firewire adaptor. All is fine so far as the latest Astro IIDC alpha version sees it without a problem. I did read the ReadMe First file and noticed the discussion about the problem with triggered long exposures with the PGR camera. I noticed that the maximum frame rate allowed with this camera is 2 seconds. Does this mean that this will be the maximum exposure time accessible at this time?  If so it's no biggie as I rarely use those long exposures anyway.

Normally I don't use my PGR cameras in Format7 modes. If I switch the Flea3 to Format7 mode would it allow me to set frame rates between 30 and 60 fps?

And finally, thanks Milton for making this camera controllable by AstroIIDC. The windows people are still circling the wagons.
