Bizibilder Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 No - the 1000D is a "still" camera only and unsuitable for guiding - you can use a webcam (SPC900 works) or better still something like a QHY5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brantuk Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 APT can operate the 1000D - just plug the camera USB cable into the camera port and other end into the computer. But it's just for taking shots - not for guiding as stated above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrantEb Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 If you have an ASCOMM compatible mount, just connect to mount in APT, connect up you 1000d, and away you go. You don't need PHD connected for DARV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus daniel Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I use a webcam through my finder, as a " finder guider", this works well with PHD, not that expensive to do but effective! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
