Replacement for Orion Starshoot Autoguider

[tferrari]

I've been having issues with the starshoot autoguider guide camera and phd guiding; the whole camera output shifts for a short period randomly and causes the correction to jump for no reason. Seems like a driver issue that I can't correct.

The starshoot camera came as part of the 50mm magnificent mini guiding package, so I already have a guide scope.

I don't need ST4 guiding as I use pulseguiding with EQmod.

Primary imaging scope is 80mm f/6 apo FYI.

Recommendations for a new guide cam?

Hi tferrari

Have you tried re-flashing the drivers.

Check the following thread  http://www.cloudynights.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/3979345/Main/3979152

The guys there resurrected their SSG by re-flashing as a QHY5.

Hope this helps

cheers

Thanks for the post. Unfortunately the drivers only work on Windows XP! I don't know what to do now. Perhaps just buy a QHY5?

I have SSAG working OK  on Win 7 64bit.

The drivers to reflash the SSAG as a QHY5 are only available for use on Windows XP. That's what I meant
