camera share camera

[Tom Shinal]

Can Nebulosity and Ph.D operate simultaneously and share a single camera. Running Win 10.

no, sorry that won't work, unless you have one of the old Sbig dual sensor cameras that had an imaging sensor and a guiding one too...

Never mind the software, a guiding prog will need 1 to 3 second exposures, deep sky objects will require 30 second exposures at least.

1. Can PHD2 support a Meade Electronic Eyepiece

2. Can Nebulosity and PHD2 share a common camera (specifically a Meade DSI II

1: If there's a native or Ascom driver then yes. My versions of PHD2 shows Meade DS1\2\3 is supported.

2: No, cameras are a one device to application type.

I think the OP means to share the camera with Neb and PhD to image and guide at the same time, so no you can’t do that, it’s one or the other..

PHD2 will probably support a Meade Electronic eyepiece. A camera cannot simultaneously guide and capture through two separate pieces of software. Guiding requires short exposures and DSO imaging requires longer exposures. Its either one or the other, but not at the same time.
