Philips SPC900 or SPC1330 ?

I used to use K3CCD Tools for capture and Registax for processing. But that was years ago now and no doubt things have moved on. You will only need the drivers from the Philips disk, don't worry about all their software.

I just ordered one of these from Pixmania too!

I'm not sure I will have much luck with the drivers for the Dlink Netqam 350 I am half way through modding. Lost my driver disk, managed to find some old Windows2000 ones on the internet, but cannot test them in XP as the cam is in pieces.

This looks like a much better bet than that old thing!

Thanks for the replies John & Rus

Any idea where I can download K3CCD from - do you have a link Rus?

Cheers

Craterlet is a useful capture application as well.

Thanks very much John.

I wasn't lazy, I managed it find it shortly afterwards but was busy doing something else and didn't manage to edit my post in time. Nevertheless, thank you anyway.

Just waiting for an adapter from Telescope House and a clear night (!) and then I'll give it a go.

Thanks once again.

Clear skies!

Thanks for that lightbucket.

Any views on which is a) easier to use or more flexible between K3CCD and Craterlet?

Thanks in advance.

Personally I prefer K3CCD, you can download the free version at the bottom of this page, that version has everything you need and there's no reason to upgrade to the paid version.

I did purchase the latest version after nearly a year of using the free version, mainly because it's such an excellent piece of software and because the author deserves the reward for his continuing hard work (IMHO)

Craterlet is very simple and doesn't have many features. I use it purely for capture and then do processing with other apps so Carterlet is great for that. K3CCD has a huge range of bells and whistles and is pretty much a one stop shop for capturing and processing. It really depends on what your own preferences are.

Thank you Sam and Ian.

Will look into K3CCD
