Thanks Gene, but that is just a upgrade, not the full version of the CD.
According to Meade you have to have the full CD to install the camera, and
of course they will not supply a new one. Got off the phone about 3 hours
ago with Meade. They said get a new one from the dealer. The dealer is
checking into it. But in the mean time, no imaging. My son has a ETX125
that he wanted to use the camera with. We have an older AutoStar Suite that
we undated with the software you suggested, but even though it opens all the
DSI menu, no camera is found because that update software does not include
the drivers needed for XP.
Hi Tom,
Have you tried the Nebulosity program? It can be combined with that
author's PHD positioning driver:

I realize that you have to pay to use it, but it appears that Meade is
being unhelpful in any case.
