Here you'll find a Guidemaster Plugin for Atik/Artemis cameras. I have already taken some nice deep sky pictures using this plugin and an Atik16IC-HS as guidecam, but you should test it yourself before you drive to a remote observing site. Currently tested Cameras with Guidemaster 2.0.14: Atik16IC-HS and Atik16HR If you have tested it with a different Atik/Artemis camera, please let me know if it works. Any kind of feedback, bug reports, suggestions or feature requests are highly appreciated. Just send me a mail to ![]() | ||||

| Atik 16IC-HS / Art-424: You will need to download FTChipID.dll and copy it into the directory where Guidemaster is installed. | ||||
| Atik 16HR / Art-285 You may have to copy ArtemisCCD.dll (which should be shipped with the camera software) into Guidemasters directory. | ||||

| Goto your Guidemaster directory and make a backup of interface.dll; download and extract the zip file with the new interface.dll and replace it with the old one. After you start Guidemaster there should be an a new Videodriver available in the options of "Guiding Imager" | ||||
