Like I said, YouTube was way more work than I'm willing to do.

I need to do some research on what's available as far as video hosting.
Vimeo was the only one that was suggested from my original request. I put
out the request for available video hosts to try to cut down on the research
time. It's not like I have anything else to do...

I'll do a search and look at the options. The SDAA website is hosted on
GoDaddy servers and they do not allow streaming which is why I was looking
for other options. Even Jeff's idea of screen capture with voice still might
be considered streaming or could make us go over our max bandwidth for our
Godaddy hosting plan.

Bob,

I thought that the YouTube was OK but not ideal and would not like to go
back to it. I hope we can convince SDAA that a quality on-line presence is
worth $60 annually for Vimeo Plus.

Kin,
Even though I've been imaging for some time now, I always come away from the
AISIG meetings learning something. It's tough to get to every AISIG meeting
and I personally use the videos to see what I missed when I can't attend. I
also use the videos to go back and see if something was as I remembered
after attending a meeting and I've have gone back to a video months after
the presentation was originally given.

I hate to see the online option disappear. As the creator and account holder
of the videos online, YouTube and ExposureRoom, I've received emails of
gratitude globally (I had to use the Google Portuguese translator once) as
well as locations in the States for having these videos.

For me, YouTube is not an option as it requires a lot of work to break the 1
1/2 hr lectures into 10 minute sections, YouTube's maximum length of clip
that can be uploaded. Also, the format is too small to catch what's being
shown on the screen.

I think that these are a great feature and have excellent content. Before
the on-line access that you developed, I used to keep two copies of each
video for lending at AISIG meetings. There were some takers, but I do not
think that they received the exposure that they deserved.

One of the things that the board wanted to do was to generate a "new
imager's packet" - the videos and the briefing material that accompanies
them go a long way toward that end. It would cost a lot to reproduce and
distribute them on demand but we could put together a few packets for the
library and even a packet for the auction at the banquet.

One of the questions is - the videos are really excellent as notes for those
who actually attended the AISIG meeting when they were delivered. Are they
also useful for those who did not attend the meeting?

Another issue is whether we are publicizing them enough?

Does anyone have an opinion?

ExposureRoom was free(too good to be true) and had unlimited upload file
size. I'd been trying t keep them to around 1 gig, but sometimes they'd go a
little over. Each lecture was running around 2.5 - 3 gigs in three parts of
a half hour (1 gig) each. With Vimeo, we'ed have to go with the Vimeo Plus
for $59.95 a year as the free version is limited to a 500mb (per week)
upload. That $60 a year could be a hard sell to the Board.

I wonder how many we're using the videos I had uploaded? Knowing that could

We should think about the approach we're using to capture the lectures.
I've always thought that while the videos were nice, what would be better is
just a running screen capture of the computer, and audio only.  That would
dramatically reduce the size of the presentations, and let viewers more
clearly see what's on the screen, which is usually the most important.



Maybe we should see if there are any software packages that would let us
take that approach. . .?  Just throwing out ideas.

Bob,

You could just burn them to DVD and make them available through the club's
lending library.  It's not as convenient as online -- but it's cheap and
potentially longer lasting.

ExposureRoom was free(too good to be true) and had unlimited upload file size.
I'd been trying t keep them to around 1 gig, but sometimes they'd go a little
over. Each lecture was running around 2.5 - 3 gigs in three parts of  a half
hour (1 gig) each. With Vimeo, we'ed have to go with the Vimeo Plus for $59.95 a
year as the free version is limited to a 500mb (per week) upload. That $60 a
year could be a hard sell to the Board.

I wonder how many we're using the videos I had uploaded? Knowing that could help
the cause.

Thanks for the input, I'll keep it in mind.

Well, Doesn't this just suck! I was uploading the Observatory Automation Video
and they've deactivated my account. All of that work I did is lost and the links
from the AISIG web page are dead. Here's their reason:

"This is to inform you that your ExposureRoom account has been De-activated.

Does anyone know of a site (other than YouTube) that I can upload the videos?

My first Flaming Star nebula:
ST2000xm Camera
StellarVue Raptor 90 APO at F7
6nm Astrodon Ha Filter (12) 5 minute subs
Astrodon RGB filters: (6) 5 minute subs each GRN & BLUE
Ha region colored in Photoshop and used as Red channel

http://tinyurl.com/ycby7sx


Also I imaged the PacMan Nebula but this one I may redo.  There was a full hour
of each channel but using the same technique as above.  I then ovelaid the Ha
layer in grayscale on top of the color image, to better display the outer
regions of the nebula

http://tinyurl.com/ybjyny4

I know they were shot through smog & light pollution here in town, and the
colors are not going to be perfect.  But I may dismantle that second shot and
try to make it better with different processing.

Comments welcome

The wind was HOWLING last night, so I'd check the forecast carefully. I was
on-site doing observatory maintenance (and upgrades!!!).  I could barely get
my scope sync'd with all that wind. . .

Not too bad for a single 4 minute, unguided shot.

Thank you Jeff for a great presentation at the program meeting.

Jeff,

That would be great. The program meeting is 7 PM, 18 November.

   Hey Kin,

   Depending on when it is, I could do a little walk through showing the
   progression of my imaging, from my first Mars shots, through the point and
   shoot attempts, to my DSLR, and finally to my current set-up. It's always
   neat to see the progression.

   The November program meeting next week is Member Share Night (in place of
   the former Gadget Night). The SDAA VP asked if any of the imagers want to
   make a presentation of their work, 10 minutes max. Is anyone game?

Paul,



Adaptive optics really only help at longer focal lengths, over 1200mm at
least, and even better beyond 2000mm.  Lower than 1200mm and I'm not sure
I'd bother with adaptive optics.



You might also consider getting an AOL if you ever think you will buy a
camera with a larger chip.  The AO8 have a small tip/tilt mirror and do not
work with larger chip cameras.



The main difference between an AO7 and the AO8 is that the AO7 eats up a lot
more back focus and makes it much harder (maybe impossible on some imaging
systems) to use an off axis guider.  The AO8 is set up specifically to make
it easy to use an OAG, which is super important in my opinion.



FYI, I might be selling my AOL and maybe even my MOAG in the next month or
two.

I'm using an SBIG ST2000 camera and I'm interested in AO. I see AO7 units
come up regularly for sale, but not too many AO8's. What is the big
difference between the two?

Would I use AO on both my APO Refractor and the SCT? Or is it of benefit to
an imager only when imaging at long focal lengths such as the SCT?

Thanks
