Hi guys,

We're not a webcam with software to give manual controls. We previously built a prototype in a similar manner to show the use case but the performance was horrible. USB doesn't have the throughput to give good refresh rate (think a 2 second refresh lag), especially since the images need to go through an Image Processor (ISP) to give a preview in real time.

We did design the camera with pro-users in mind though. We realize from the start that a 1/3" sensor won't compete with the large sensor cameras for DSO imaging. So we went all out on the planetary, lunar and solar side. We're doing 4MP at 60fps for lucky shot imaging, by buffering into 4GB of RAM on the system.

Best,
Grey
