SX Superstar guider
Hi,
A couple of comments on the Superstar.
1. There are updated drivers on the Starlight Xpress website for this guider than on the CD that comes with it. You will need the CD which has the camera program on it.
2. The camera program does not properly support the Superstar - configure it to ignore the VID/PID and set it as a SXVF H9 camera, then it should work. The installation instructions also tell you to do this.
3. There is no user manual as yet - too new, but you can use the Lodestar manual.
4. The C mount thread on the nosepiece is actually CS mount, i.e. the thread is really the same, but the focus distance is really CS - does this make sense? I put a C mount TV lens on it but it will not reach focus - I estimate that I need a C spacer to add 5mm and then it should reach focus. Unfortunately I don't have one but will have to make one or buy one to suit. This means the flange focal distance is 12.5mm for the Superstar.
Now to hook it up and work out how to achieve focus on a guidescope.
