Does this CCD have dedicated ASCOM drivers for 3rd party Astro software packages? The Orion CCD's do, but I can't find any for the NexImage 5 upon searching the web?

I don't know about ASCOM drivers, I just used the icap application that came with the camera. This is really a repackaged Imaging Source Camera, so the software that comes with it works very well.

The drivers you need to find are pretty easy to download if you know what components you have. I'm answering this on mine I finished up a few months ago. The only driver I haven't found yet is for the webcam and they don't have a manufacturer listed anywhere. If you have any questions let me know.

I have a NEX-7 so guess they are similar. I have to go into the Drive mode in the Camera menu and set it to the IR commander mode. My guess is that you have to go into one of your camera's menus and program it to accept the IR Commander. Your user manual should tell you what you have to do. Or a nearby camera shop could also help. Hope this helped.

Just checked Magellans site and they mention there is no Mac support. Pity, cause the models have much to offer for the money.

Hi sijia, my issue was with the drivers/software not playing nice with my computer. I had an alien ware m17x at the time. I never pin pointed the problem but I was able to get them to work by installing the updated software from the website. However I was getting crazy errors. But I noticeed after running the installer you will have like 6 new programs under add/remove programs. So I started uninstalling one at a time and seeing when the errors stopped and when the lights would still turn on. Unfortunately I feel like everyone will have a different problem, but it's a place to start. Good luck! Hi sijia, my issue was with the drivers/software not playing nice with my computer.

That looks like a nice telescope! According to the literature, the SkySync GPS works with all nexstar computerized, non-gps telescopes, which should include the 127. You could contact Celestron via their website and ask them, or just order this from Amazon and give it a try. I am sure you can return it if there is a problem.

It will work on the NexStar 130 GT but mainly for the Moon. The focal length is 650mm so Jupiter and other planets will be small. You can use a 2x to 3x Barlow though to double or triple your focal length. Then the main issue becomes how well does the scope track. With the small field of view that you get with this camera it is hard to find and keep the planet in sight. You can ask your question at Cloudy Nights and get many more people trying to help you.

Thanks very much to all. I upgraded the driver with file C13D0DRIT_V10SP5.exe (55MB) from the Canon USA support driver site and the C130 proceeded immediately to perform batch scanning as one would expect. I think my software was an early version(?) Thanks again.

There is no webcam driver at that ASUS link. I haven't been able to find it either, and I've looked in both forums and the manuals.If anyone knows the filename of the actual driver (and version number) maybe the rest of us can find it.

Most recommended for this OTA and for proper astrophotography would be the Sirius EQ-G. That will provide great stability and allow you to attach your photo equipment.

Hi K. Shulman. The port is doesn't exist on nex7, and I don't know any converter to make it work. It just work on the big alphas, I'm pretty sure on a77 and a99 works , because i have them, but i think it will work on a37, a65 also and others like that.

Hello, how are you? I did some research on your question. So far I found this web site where you can get an adapter you can use to attach your camera to your telescope. If you buy one please let me know if it works or not. My email address is snban4@aol.com thanks and take care Sue Banks

Its a really fast wide field achromat refractor with lots of false color on bright objects like jupiter. Great for wide field deep space views. If you have scope and want to try astrophotography go ccd black and white on camera and LRGB filters. and a good processing and stacking software. that would be your best chance to get a decent image.

I cannot, but I can give you my perspective on the StarMax 90 mm by Orion. It is small, portable, and clear, but I wear glasses, and it is hard to see through with the 10x eyepiece. I think all of the small scopes will be. I wish I had spent the extra $100 and bought the 6" Dobsonian mounted reflector, but I wanted to use this during the day for spotting animals from a distance. I gave this as a present to my wife who hasn't worked with the telescope yet, and she may have different opinions. I did get her the camera mount, polar lens, and an extra eye piece that doubles the magnification. I think that you'll find that both are probably one in the same IMO. I do like the table top mount that the Orion has. I think once the weather warms we will be able to give a more thorough opinion. I think I will end up getting the reflector with the Dobsonian mount the color CCD eyepiece from Orion, and a few extras. If you have room I'd suggest the 6" reflector, or this http://www.telescope.com/Orion-XT45-Dobsonian-Telescope-amp-Beginner-Barlow-Kit/p/102027.uts . I feel that we may outgrow the Starmax 90, but I think the 4.5 or 6 with Dobsonian would well used for the lifetime of star gazing.

I've received the C910 and have connected it to my iMac. It works with everything the built-in iSight does, including 3rd party apps like Evocam. The included Logitech app seems redundant except maybe to record HD video more easily. I cannot imagine what other apps I'd need from them - I'm quite happy with the camera as-is. No need for additional software.

The software included is only compatible with windows, also you have to download a newer version of the software from the ASTROMETA website, maybe in the website they can help you out with the OS version.
