Hi im loved with this camera, i have two of them, usually i use it at full frame rate to record planets and moon, but it would be nice to use it for telescope autoguiding, this means that the camera needs to run at lower frame rates at possible, 1 frame per second it would be ideal but at least we need 5 or 10 FPS to let guidemaster (an autoguiding software) stack some frames to capt stars. Of course we do that without the PS3Eye original lens, we aply the sensor directly to a guide scope.
If this would be easy to make it would be a great notice!

For very low frame rate please download the CLEye multicam SDK. It allows you to set arbitrary frame rate including the very low one you require.

Do i need to purchase the activation for CL-Eye device manager to do that?

I just posted a program that allows you to set the frame rate to very low, or high, values. I’ve tested it as low as 0.1 Hz

You find the post in the sample applications section, I call it “EyeCapture”.

In your case you would run it from the command line:

eyecapture -h 5 -r 1 -f 3

Or in any other configuration to your taste:

Usage: eyecapture [-f format][-h framerate][-r resolution]

Options:
      -f format     0 = CLEYE_MONO_PROCESSED
                1 = CLEYE_COLOR_PROCESSED
                2 = CLEYE_MONO_RAW
                3 = CLEYE_COLOR_RAW
                4 = CLEYE_BAYER_RAW

      -h framerate   QVGA supports 0.0 - 187.0Hz
                VGA supports 0.0 - 75.0Hz

      -r resolution   0 = QVGA
                1 = VGA
