Hi Sam, Welcome to the group. I think because its been cloudy just about everywhere for the last 3 months or so and, or most are happy with their camera....
Hey Everyone, With all the cloudy skies we have been having for the last, oh 3 months, I've been spending a lot of time pondering and planing what to observe...
Gord, From my magnitude 5 skies 40 miles NE of New Orleans, Louisiana using my 17.5" f/4.58 TeleKit with ServoCAT, MallinCam PRO DOB and MFR-1 I have seen all...
Gord, In downtown Ottawa with a 10" SCT at F/3.3 I got magnitude 16.9 under magnitude 3.0 skies. With a 12" SCT at F/3.3 I got 17.9 during winter with mag. 3.7...
Greetings, The year 2005 was probably the worst for imaging and observing. During the fall of 2005, I managed to capture some images but never like all the...
After about a year researching options for increasing my astronomical viewing pleasure, I returned to the lowly MallinCam website and read up on the latest...
Stephen ... You won't be disappointed!!! Simon (long-time Mallin*Cam afficionado) ... <image.tiff> ... <image.tiff> ... Simon Hanmer Geological Survey of...
Stephen, Welcome! I'll start by this pre-amble: I know Rock from my astronomy group (http://www.oaog.ca) and I am privileged to call him a friend but I do not...
Like you, I'm living in the light polluted skies of a large city...in my case Salt Lake City. I do a lot of viewing from the backyard, but have on occassions...
Howdy, I came across someone getting rid of a couple of security camera lenses one is 16mm (aperture of 1.6, format 1/3" )the other is a 3.5mm~8mm...just...
Jean If the lenses are "C" mount and if Rock has not moved the CCD chip from its 17.26mm position back of the mounting ring they will work fine. But if the...
Hi Jean, I think all of Rock's B&W cameras are 1/2" format. This means that the 1/3" format lens may not be capable of fully illuminating the CCD. I am not...
Dan et al., The price was great: FREE! Just wanted to know if anyone else had tried. It's not to replace my MC/scope combo, rather it's more just to play...
Hi all, Just spent about an hour with Rock in his shop and the new stuff he is working on is just scary in it's capabilities. It's still in the prototype...
Jack, I'm not worried about my MC Colour being obsolete...at all. I'm just amazed that Rock keeps upping the ante with new, improved models of his MC series....
Steve, Here's the good news. If things works out as planned, any MallinCam camera even the older one of 3 and 4 years ago with different ccd sensor will be...
I know (and agree) that it is best to insert the MallinCAM directly into the SCTs, but due to portability and viewing location issues sometimes I can only use...
Any nominal diagonal will do. Good as it is the camera is not high definition and an ordinary diagonal should produce exceptional results. Melvin ... From:...
I think this is a good thread to throw in my two cents. I recently had my MallinCam Pro Dob upgraded by Rock, and while I haven't had a chance to use it yet...
Robert, I'm glad to see that your ULTRA finally arrived. I think the Pony Express would be faster than the Post Office. When you do get clear skies, I would...
Robert, You forgot to mention about the "break dance" part! lol! Kind Regards, Rock ... -- *********************** PRO-COM ELECTRONICS & TELESCOPE REPAIR 395...
"break dance" - what flies on the walls of the Mallin and Ray residences, respectively, would have seen when Customs and the Postal Service found my package....
Yesterday evening it was slightly freezing weather (-2 C) and I digged out my "good" old Mintron. I had made a modification with a Peltier cooler (down to -16C...
Henk, Nice to hear from you again on the list Henk. The testing done on the ICX 428 ALL and the ICX 248 AKL (color) EX type sensors did resulted in damage to...
Rock, Those instructions sound a bit "fussy". How likely is damage if you don't follow them exactly? Suppose you lose power or have to pack up quickly and...
Hi Bill Welcome to the group! These instruction are simple Bill. If they are not followed, no big deal! No damage will occur. It is simply a safer way to do...
