Perhaps not, but a good place to try is to go to the IOXperts page at

<http://www.ioexperts.com/products/webcamx.html>

Their driver works for the Celestron NexImage camera, but that is
becauseit is essentially a ToUcam. If their driver does not work
with the DSI Pro, then there is a page you can use to submit info
in order to help them support your camera:

Their list of unsupported cameras includes the Meade Captureview
(binoculars with a built-in video camera), but I don't know if that
has the same chipset as the DSI Pro.

HI Rob:

It doesn't. None of these drivers will work with the DSI. It's purty
different, I understand, and that's why it has not been widely
supported. Oh, there is SOME 3rd party support for the DSI. K3CCD, Phd
Guiding, and Maxim DL do support it, but, unfortunately, that does not
help the original poster, as they are all PC apps. I would guess that
the reason for that is that they are actually using the Meade drivers,
basically, but I ain't computer literate enough to tell ya for shore.
