Guiding (Download Windows, Download OS X)
1.8.3 (4/2/2008) - Pre-release
- Support added for SXV / SXVF cams including the Lodestar.
Both Mac and Windows.
- Setpoint.exe bug fixed -- Most DLLs set to delay-load.
Users of the SAC4-2 will still have issues if running
setpoint.exe. This is a camera driver issue, not a PHD
issue.
Craterlet OS X
(0.2) Download
Craterlet
for OS X is designed to give Mac users simple capture
application for DCAM-compliant firewire cameras such as
those from The Imaging Source (sorry, the iSight is not
DCAM-compliant). It's main application here will be to
let you stream planetary or lunar images to disk.
However, given the long-exposure options present in
these cameras, other applications (e.g. DSO work) will
certainly exist.
Currently, this is an early release. I have tested it with
a monochrome camera (DMK 31AF03.AS) and with monochrome and
color Unibrain Fire-i cameras. Images can be streamed to
disk in BMP, JPEG, PNG, or TIFF formats. On color cameras,
it will stream color images, currently using the camera's
onboard debayers even if pure RAW modes exist. I welcome
bug reports and any other assistance users can provide in
testing. Let me know what camera you are using, what modes
show up (note, you can only selet a mode while Preview is
not active), and how it behaves.
Craterlet OS X is freeware. OS X 10.4 is required (some
chance it will work with 10.3.9).
