I've just released the initial version (1.0.0) of DSLRControl.  This software was suggested by Etienne Bonduelle and allows for automating exposure sequences with a Canon DSLR, while controlling a scope through a CCD guider port, and controlling a LX-modified camera...all on the same parallel port!

Welcome to barkoSoftware.com, the new website and location for GuideDog

The new site supports a Discussion area where users can share information/tips on using GuideDog.  Hopefully this will be more friendly than the typical Yahoo group, and of course won't include the irritating advertisements.

• Adds support for parallel port based relay boxes

• Ability to enter separate guide rates for RA and Dec

• Added backlash settings for both RA and Dec
