CCD Interface 5.30 + SDK

[Forum_2014]

Hello, a new interface for camera and telescope control is available:

Version 5.30 - January 31, 2013
-------------------------------

* Compatible with the new SDK.
* Option for Goto in JNow coordinates.
* Script commands for log files.
* Improved user interface.

The most important feature is the compatibility with the new SDK, available here:
http://www.msb-astroart.com/plug_en.htm

About the user interface, it also contains a new option "Show CCD binning" in "Options2", which should solve the problem about the default binning at startup, discussed last week.

It also includes the experimental autoguide mode for spectroscopy (star under the slit shadow), but this mode is hidden by default. We will give more details next week.

Ken, concerning the spectroscopy feature, I had some mail exchange with Fabio and the opportunity to test modules he sent to me (guiding seems perfect!).

Here you find a brief tutorial I prepared:
