I think its only guiding software/drivers. Someone that owns one can clarify this.
But you can buy a lincense key from Astrosoft (Software/drivers programmer for both cameras) to allow you to run the QHY-5 suite of software which has imaging/streaming video software.
The Starshoot autoguider and the QHY-5 are the same camera, but the Starshoot guider has different firmware for lincensing reasons. This is why you need a key to open other imaging software.
They both do a great job guiding, and imaging is not their strongest point, although you can get great results.

Hi Theo
this looks like what I am after. I have the Orion camera and need to take a few pictures for an assignment I have. I'd rather not shell out for another camera at this stage.
Where can I purchase the software key? And what's the best place to download the capture software?
Do you know if the Astrosoft divers will overwrite the Orion drivers?
Thanks - I am sure the QHY-8 will succeed in luring me to another purchase eventually but its a bit hard to justify at the moment.
