Mount

Deep sky imaging with the StarShoot Pro requires an equatorial mount with a right ascension (R.A.) motor drive. The goal for your mount is to seamlessly track the apparent movement of the sky as the Earth rotates. The tracking must be very accurate, or the object you want to image will drift and blur across the camera’s field of view while the exposure is taken. Even a small amount of drift will cause a star to look oblong instead of a round point. We recommend using a high-quality equatorial mount which utilizes periodic error correction (PEC) or has the ability to interface with an autoguider.

Computer

The StarShoot Pro requires a PC to operate the camera. For astro-imaging in the field at night, a laptop computer is highly recommended. The included software is Maxim DL Essentials which requires Windows XP, or Windows Vista operating systems.

Note: The StarShoot Pro drivers and MaxIm DL Essentials do not support 64-bit operating systems

The following hardware is also required:

•Processor: 700 MHz speed or higher, Pentium™ III equivalent or higher

•Recommended minimum memory size is 512 MB

•Disk Space: 100 MB for program installation, 500 MB or more to store images is recommended
