Since my DMK is down for the count I'm cameraless.
I do have my Lodestar which will make captures, but the Starlight Express software is beyond me to figure out for the purpose.
Any one have an idea of a capture program that will run the camera?
Capturing with Lodestar SX
Re: Capturing with Lodestar SX
Evidently that camera is not usable for Solar work
I was just set up with my WL rig to try it out.
A couple ND filters stacked in the train and I could get brightness reduced enough to find a few spots.
Focus would come no where close and there seems to be no gamma adjustments available.
Oh well, it's a helluva guide camera.

John,
Yes, the Lodestar is a great guide camera, large 8micron pixels...
I use AstroArt to control all my cameras, DSLR's, ATiK16, ATik314L and the Lodestar...
