Anyone using DBK 21AU04 on a Mac? Mine is a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard 10.6.1.
I'm running VMWare Fusion so can use the Windows drivers through that, but would prefer to run it natively.

I have dabbled with this a little Troy, mainly as a throwback to disliking Windoze to the extreme.
What program will you use it with. For example, you can use PHD and the firewire versions within the OSX setup. Nebulosity as well.

So the firewire drivers will work with the USB version of the camera?
I've just made another new thread with the software I'll be using, but to answer you here...
I'll be using it to guide with PHD Guiding most likely as it's free and works on Mac.
Also intend to use it to learn planetary imaging down the track with experience. Not sure yet what sort of capture software would be best for that. I know if it was WinXP I'd be using k3ccdtools, or craterlet, registax or avistack etc... hmm... craterlet has a beta OS X version. Maybe that'll work?

Troy,
not sure, but the answer to what I wanted was the firewire camera, I had a USB version but swapped it with Herr Ponders, as both my Mac, and my PC desktop which I capture etc with have firewire.PHD will only work with firewire on the IS cameras sorry.
I agree with you on the planetary, K3 for me and Registax, but I c an even guess what you could use to capture with the DMK on a Mac, does the IC software have a Mac section, maybe ask them.

Will do. Thanks.
Worst comes to worst, I'll just run what I need through Fusion I guess.
