This is a fantastic little camera. All we need to do is hook up
power, and an ethernet connection to the campus network, and we
are ready to take images. Currently
Maxim-DL
is the only software available with drivers for the camera. That is not
too bad though, as it is a full featured program for CCD imaging. Note:

CCDSoft, the companion software to The Sky, which we use to manage the
telescope, is planning on adding support. When that happens, we will
add it as it may be a less expensive option for off site users of the
telescope. NOTE: It is currently in beta. We do not have it.
