So I got the camera today. plugged and started Astro IIDC .

It crashes immediately. I tested on 2 machines with 10.7.5 and 10.8.2

Looks like we're not going to be able to use this camera after all.

Ok I'm replying to my own message.

Turns out that Skype is interfering with Astro IIDC with this camera. If I start Astro IIDC before skype all is good.

As for the parameters :

CCD CFA Pattern : Bayer GBRG

16bit video shift : 6bit

I notice that we can change the Saturation.

Also Astro IIDC let you select Frame rates that aren't supported. In these case you'll get a frozen frame or a white frame. Just change the FPS.
