A while ago I purchased an ATK-2HS CCD Camera which didn't come with software. What image capture software can be used with this type of camera?

Nebulousity is reasonable in price and should work with this camera, it supports ATIK cameras, but I am not sure about this particular one. $60 http://www.stark-labs.com/nebulosity.html

Then there is Maxim DL bout it cost $400-500 depending on the version. http://www.cyanogen.com/

There might be others out there that do not cost a lot too, but I am not certain which ones. Maybe someone else will have more information.

Hans: Iris is a freeware package, I don't know if it supports your camera or not but it's worth a look. The author is Christian Buil who was one of the first amateur astronomers to switch to CCD cameras.
