TO get a clean download I have to run it at 2. So it takes about 22seconds to download one image But like last PM I used a total of 6 minutes for 16 images to download I got this from the Yahoo user group for the Star Shoot Pro Nebulosity does not have a download control switch for the ascom drivers however Thanks Again Greg -------------------- www.azspaceblog.com/ Orion Star Shoot Pro OSC Oiron Star Shoot II OSC Celestron Cg-5 ASGT mount Celestron ED80 Piggy back with william Optics 66mm APO Celestron 6" SCT Piggy Back with william Optics 66mm APO Post Extras:       nofxrx Vendor (HyperCams & Mods) Reged: 07/12/05 Posts: 2501 Loc: Palm Bay,Florida Re: Cold Pixels Orion SS PRO Color [Re: Gregk]       #3425701 - 11/02/09 03:18 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Thats interesting...I never knew Maxim had that kind of control..I mean,I knew Maxim did everything..but actually slow down the D/L speed,THAT is cool.AND good to know.Thanks Greg!
