Paul! Thanks for the links and info, you give me some inspiration, new things to learn! I'm still in the work of my mount to improve accuracy and make the goto function working as well. But kind to know the camera is usable! I got some test shoots without any lens on the cam. Just for have some raw images.

It makes tiff or it's own raw (.Raf) format, that can be coverted to tiff. It think it can be used by DSS.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if it's worth using an old 20+ year old DSLR on a Windows XP laptop or should I leave it alone and buy a new camera? (which is younger than Fine S2 Pro) It has a Super CCD sensor, different from Cmos. I'll be give it a try when my astro-rig setup is ready for the good weather! Some details of the Camera: FinePix S2 Pro Effective megapixels: 6.10 Total megapixels: 6.50 Sensor size: 23 x 15.5 mm Sensor type: CCD Sensor resolution: 3004 x 2030 Max. image resolution: 4256 x 2848 Pixel pitch: 7.66 µm ISO: 100, 160, 200, 400, 800, 1600 Shutter speed: 30 sec automatically, longer exp. with remote release (the mechanic one) I'm excited about the image sensor, it is CCD and not as usual as CMOS sensors and not much found of astropics with this camera on the internet...
