Hi Milton,


Being a USB camera would it still work with Astro IIDC?

Hi Raye;

You might also want to look at their Chameleon USB2 camera too.

http://www.ptgrey.com/products/chameleon/index.asp

The mono versions deliver up to 1296x964 @ 18 fps, 8 / 16 bit and is
priced at $375 USD.

In cropped 640x480 hardware ROI the best I got was 30 fps in 16 bit
or 8 bit.

At 1280x960 size I get 15 fps.

You get 8 or 16 bit video in, hardware ROI, GPIO functionality for ST4
port control or arbitrary long exposures and temperature monitoring too.

HTH..
