Dec+ 6. RA+ Dimensions: 62mm diameter und 30mm height Weight: 105g The camera does not net external power supply; it is directly powered via USB. Software: ALccd 5- ALvideo for planetary photography. MaxIm DL- und AstroArt-Plugin with all standard functions. Freeware in Internet: Stark-Labs PhD-Guiding and Guidemaster. The ALccd5 camera has most modern electronic; it therefore needs a PC with USB 2.0 connectivity. It is compatible to Windows XP SP2 and higher. The camera applies to the RoHS regulations.
Important Note for Mac OS Users: The ALCCD5 camera is unfortunately not compatible with Mac OS. However you can emulate a Windows OS inside your Mac OS (provided your computer has an Intel processor) using "Bootcamp" (included with current Mac OS versions) or "Parallels" (available separately for your computer). In this emulated Windows surface the ALCCD will work without problems. |
