Subject: Re: Chameleon USB 2 - First Light with Astro IIDC

Sounds interesting!  Particularly if one wants to run two cameras on a Mac with only one firewire port.

How does the exview HAD ccd compare to the ICX618 that everyone on cloudynights seems so excited about in the Flea3?

Hi Folks;

Here is First Light (Image) with the PGR Chameleon USB 2 camera.

Thats a screen shot of Astro IIDC controlling the PGR EXView HAD camera, running at 1280x960 pixels for color images. I just got the control code spliced into Astro IIDC code base yesterday and got the bulk pipe code running this afternoon.

I still have a tonne of work for test things out and have several known issues to fix, but if we are lucky Astro IIDC 4.06.00 Alpha 8 will support fours USB 2 /3 Cameras by the end of next week.

Have a great weekend..
