84.2mb - shareware - apple software update is a software tool by apple that installs the latest version of apple software. It lets me adjust the gamma, brightness and try to set the frames per second (FPS) - although unsurprisingly that seems to be limited according to the image size.Download Now USB2 0 UVC VGA WEBCAM DRIVERД uvc vga webcam is 5. It lets me turn off auto-exposure and set the gain and shutter speed manually. However, running under Linux on my elderly old laptop, wxAstroCapture version 1.8-1 (the beta) offers to connect to the Xbox Live Vision at resolutions of 320Г—240, 352Г—вЂ†288, 640вЂ†Г—вЂ†480, 960вЂ†Г—вЂ†7вЂ†Г—вЂ†960 pixels (YUYV). Also it only recorded QuickTime movies at 640вЂ†Г—вЂ†480 pixels (VGA, better than just 640вЂ†Г—вЂ†426 with Photo Booth), both only managing up to 10 FPS at these light levels. This looks promising in that I could record some movies where Jupiter was not too washed out, which seemed to be the typical result using Photo Booth.

I've also downloaded Equinox Pro 7 (free demo mode), which do a lot of stuff but go to the menu 'Connect', 'Webcam' (or Apple+Shift+W) and it seems to work with my webcam - and has some sort of exposure controls.

Likewise their free mini-app, Craterlet for Mac only handles some firewire cameras. On the image capture side, I've downloaded Nebulosity 2 (free demo mode), but it doesn't seem to support any USB web cameras.

Reading the CloudyNightsВ post on Webcam Astrophotography on the MacВ thereВ are also commercial webcam drivers from IOXperts, but they seem quite old - even support for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard is currently in beta - and they don't seem to support the Xbox webcam anyway.

Maybe I should just spend some more money tracking down a Phillips SPC900NC which should work in macam?В It would probably make life easier as this is quite a popular webcam for astrophotography, so other people have posted recommended settings etc. I tried anyway,В but neither it nor two other USB webcams I had seem to show up in the macam v0.9.2 application. Sadly the Xbox Live Vision isn't supported in macam, just via UVC. Where next? Perhaps macam will assist me - I had a look on the list of web cameras supported in macamВ for the Xbox Live Vision camera (which I'm hooking up to my telescope). There is also a third folder, UVCCap_Old which I think we can ignore. Folder uvc/ contains the uvc.framework, while UVCCap/ contains a very basic sample application (Cocoa) that uses the framework to render the video stream. However, I could find a uvc_mac wiki snapshot from March 2010 which included important details like the code is released under the free zLib-License, was still considered unstable, and the API likely to change. The last revision was from Nov 2010, and there doesn't seem to be any instructions which would have been on Max's website but that page was lost in an upgrade.

The code is in his SVN repository, so I took a look:

That seems to be what Max Grosse set out to do in Feb 2010, write an alternative Mac UVC camera driver, which he released in March 2010. What I would like is either a more sophisticated web camera app for the Mac that allows access to these settings and record images or movies with them, or a way of changing the settings at the driver level for all applications. I had a little play with it - it compiled fine with Xcode 4.2 on Lion after running the update project option, but I failed to get it to show anyВ signal from any of the USB webcams I tried - it insisted on using the laptop's built in camera. Back in July 2009, Dominic Szablewski demonstrated it was possible to control the exposure, white balance and gain directly with a demo application using QTKit.
