Control your Eos from the leading High-End Astronomical control and Imaging software: Maxim/DL

The advent of the Digital SLR and RAW mode shooting has made digital astro photography available to the masses at an impressive price to performance basis, but the software lags behind. Digital SLR cameras lack the software support to compete with commercial astronomical CCD cameras, until now. Now the rich feature set once only available to high-end astro cameras can now be used on your Eos digital SLR. The Eos Driver for Maxim/DL provides control and downloads thru USB or Firewire, and with an optional exposure cable can take very long exposure astronomical photographs and load them straight into Maxim/DL impressive image processing system. Now you can enjoy point and click telescope and camera control right from your computer screen and streamline the process of taking great picture. The driver is compatible with most DLSR parallel and serial cables. If you need a cable or would like to have a cable modified we recommend Hap’s Astro Cables or purchase our retail kit which comes with a cable that works on the 300D out of the box and include a kit for adapting a remote for all other models.
