Travis, I bought a telescope from Meade in Dec 2017. It came with a
Autostar CD version 5.53, the date on the CD says Jan 2005. I assume I am
supposed to load the AutoStar Suite and then update it online. I do not
need another version of AutoStar at the moment, so I have not done anything
with the CD yet. Would this be helpful to you?

Subject: [AZ-Observing] Old Meade DSI Cameras
Travis here.
I've decided to give Astrophotography another try. Problem is, all my gear
is about ten years old and I'd like to avoid buying new stuff where I can.
Among the things I have are two Meade Deep Sky Imager Cameras. I'd like to
set one of them up as a guide scope on a modified Celestron finder (my
"shooting scope will be an 8" Celestron Edge). But that's where the problem
arises. I don't have the CD's.
I've loaded "Autostar Suite" (from the Meade site) on a dedicated XP laptop.
I've resurrected tons of old software and modified more, but I can't get PHD
(or anything else) to recognize the DSI camera. I've even found drivers for
the DSI's, but I don't know how to load them.
So the question becomes: Does anyone have any old Meade Autostar Suite CD's
or any ideas on how I can get the laptop to recognize the DSI? If I can't
get them running they become miniature boat anchors and I'll have to buy an
Orion Starshoot.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Travis
