Ad Astra Observatory

Hi Jimbo,

Hmm, it’s been a long time since I had the ST4
connected to the PC. I do recall that it worked OK

with the CCDSoft program supplied by Bisque. But I’m
sure that the SBIG program should do the job as well.

Did you ask the SBIG folks? They are pretty responsive
on support issues.

Hope to see you back at the worshop some time.

Cheers,
Gert
