History

Etienne Bonduelle approached me about providing some software to make use of his new guiding interface.  Using his hardware design, you can control an autoguider port based telescope, a LX-modified webcam, and a Canon DSLR using a single parallel port.

Etienne's interface can be found here:  http://astrosurf.com/astrobond/ebtruc.htm#truc07

Features

• Provides relay like controls to a CCD autoguider port
• Supports the SC-1 long-exposure webcam to allow guiding on faint stars with GuideDog
• Allows for a timed control of the shutter for Canon DSLR cameras like the 300D and 10D
• User selectable exposure time, repeat count, and delay for image download
• Runs under Windows 98, 2000, ME, and XP without having to install additional port access drivers
