Astro IIDC works with a wide variety of low and high end, color or monochrome, 8 or 16 bit FireWire 400 or FireWire 800 cameras. It has a simple intuitive interface, can record movies, grab frames, grab averaged frames, grab sums of frames, has extensive Altivec / SSE3 optimization for real time processing for flat field, dark frame, image alignment and stacking, supports movie recording as fast as 240 frames per second to disk or as long as 1 hour per frame. The application utilizes our industrial strength Altivec / SSE3 optimized IIDC/DCAM Version 2.0 Framework to control the camera and extracts the raw bayer or monochrome images from the CCD.
Version 4.00.04:
- -Removed all custom controls that used RegisterToolboxObjectClass() and replaced it and related code with HIObjectRegisterSubclass(). Apple has broken RegisterToolboxObjectClass() in 10.4.10 and higher (including 10.5.x) so either it only works once or it crashes when used a second time, as Apple does not properly dispose of the objects that get created. The only way to fix it is to replace the original code. This affected the display of Histogram in the Camera Controls window, the RA/Dec graphing Sheet Window and the List for Manually Selecting Frames.
- Fixed a bug with stacking in our x86 code when the ""Reduce image noise when sharpening" option was used. The color channels were not being properly swapped for BGRA32 when calculating the gaussian blurred image.
- Fixed an issue with the Manually Select Frames window would not change the status of the last list item when multiple items were shift selected.
- Changed the Guiding Log output to record a lot more information, including vector movement times and all your current options used for guiding.
- Fixed a bug where it the Guide camera was rotated perfectly at 90 or 270 degrees to the normal horizontal axis, then the direction motion vectors would be reversed to what they should have been.
- Changed the "Up" , "Down" , "Left" and "Right" Guiding movement keys so that they send fewer commands when reversing directions. The "Stop" button now sends a single "Stop" command (#:Q#) for the LX Meade type scopes, instead of four separate stop axis movement commands.
PowerPC G3, G4, G5 or MacIntel x86 Mac, OS X 10.3 or later, QuickTime 7 or higher, compatible FireWire camera ( see web site for list)
