Installing the camera in 3 steps:

1 - Power the camera on. The fan should start rotating immediately.

The Titan is USB powered, so no need to have external power un-

less you need to turn on the cooler.

2 - Plug the USB cable into the camera, then into your computer. A

“New hardware found” message should immediately be visible.

3 - When asked for the drivers, point to the \Drivers\

on your CD-ROM drive.

That’s it! The camera is now installed and ready to use.

Installing the Capture application

Your camera comes with a simple and easy-to-use application called

“Artemis Capture”, which provides functions for image capture and

display; camera configuration; telescope focusing; autoguiding;

and image sequencing with an optional filter wheel. Images can be

saved in several popular formats for further processing with your

favorite image processing application.

To install Artemis Capture, simply run the installation file in the “Ar-

temis” folder of your CD and follow the prompts. During installation,

you will be asked if you want to install optional plug-ins for popular

image capture applications. Plug-ins are supplied for Maxim DL™,

AstroArt, and CCDSoft™.
