What works for one package, will not work for another.
This is why there are drivers for AstroArt and Maxim, as do other cameras on the market. But they expect you to either have Maxim or Astro art as a minimum to start imaging. Thus Maxim or Astro art has the full help and tutorial manual in its box.
I hope you understand the differences. Because using the same logic, Nikon or Canon should have supplied the help to process the images in Iris or deepsky stacker or AstroArt etc.. But because DSLR has a zillion functions, there is a book for those functions. How many functions can a standard Astro camera do ?..

It's probably none of my business, but when you buy an SBIG, any SBIG from the reasonably expensive ST 2k (QHY8 price) to the outrageously expensive STL 11K you get a full CCDSOFT manual, 200 odd pages, an SBIG CCDOPS manual and of course the SBIG camera manual. So I agree, if you fork out 2600 bucks for a camera it would be nice to get something in the way of decent and useful manuals.
