Its a while since I used it. I got it just after I first got into astronomy. Got fed up with the weather and put it away for a year or more before coming back. I don't think I ever did do more than thirty second exposures and I just used the Canon software to do that. The disk has a "Remote Capture" program plus Twain and WIA drivers, I think I might have used evaluation copies of MaximDL as well.

I really didn't use it much at all. If this weather holds out I'll try sticking it on my current mount and scope and seeing if I can come up with some halfway decent photos. I know the camera is capable of good things because Narayan produced some very nice pictures before he upgrade to a dedicated cooled astronomy camera.

Edit: looked up some notes, looks like I was playing with a program called DSLR Focus which has a capture mode as well as a focus aid mode and uses a serial cable to control the shutter for exposures over 30sec. The cable I have is that serial cable, so the computer would need a serial socket to use that, plus that program doesn't support Windows 7 let alone 8 so it might need a legacy machine running XP. The disks I have are original but I am assuming Canon still supports it with downloads of the latest version.
