Hi John,
I have recently purchased the LodeStar camera as I was using an Orion SSAG for guiding and GStar EX as en electronic finder, I have only had a chance to get first light on it last night due to the weather here in Brisbane but I have to say that I am very pleased with it.
I used to run guiding at 1.0 second exposures on the SSAG in order to see suitable guide stars but am able to run the LodeStar at 0.1 seconds and still see very faint stars, this has significantly reduced some of my egg shaped stars in long exposures (10 minutes).
I use the LodeStar on a 70MM WO Zenith Star scope and can see the nebulasity of Orion even at 0.1 seconds exposure
.
I havent used the software that it ships with yet as I haven't had a chance to read the manual to see how it all works but it works flawlessly with PHD. I believe you can also image with these cameras using the Starlight software and am keen to give this a try.
In summary well worth the money.
Cheers
Anthony
