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...

Robert, The ONLY problem I experienced at New Mexico Skies was due to the wind. They are located on the crest of a mountain range (across the valley from your...
Jack I am interested in your mini DVD recorder. Is it a stand alone unit or a computer model? I have been into video astronomy since 1997 and at present...

Jack, I went to the website, I did not see an S-Video in. On boxing day I bought a Cyberhome DVD recorder from Walmart for CAD 94. It has some bad reviews but...
Asif, The two output of the MallinCam are independent. You can use both at the same time without loss of signal. In fact, many times that's what I do. I use...
Asif, First, the unit I got from Radio Shack also does not have S-Video inputs. That is one of the negatives I read in the reviews on it. However, I have used...
I too use both S-video and composite simultaneously with great success. Robert ... can use both at the same time without loss of signal. In fact, many times...
Hi all, I came across someone who did a head-to-head comparison of the MallinCam and the Stellacam, and judging by the images, the Mallincam comes out the...
It was a decent report, but too brief and not complete enough. I still wish someone who had both cameras (and another one or two) would take a whole night and...

Stephen, I cannot provide answers to 1 and 3. However, I have some limited experience in trying to use an H-Alpha filter on my MC PRO DOB while at New Mexico...
Stephen, I personally never tried Astrosnap. I'm sure its a fine program. Not sure about the link where to get it. I usually capture my images in BMP ...
Thanks Jack and Rock for your input...it's greatly appreciated. AstroSnap is a very interesting program that I've been playing around with in anticipation of...
Hi Stephan, I have the Lumicon UHC filter and tried it a few times with a Mintron (say the ancester of the Mallincam). The bandwidth of the UHC-filter is a...
For photographic use (and I expect this includes CCD's), it is best to use wide-band filters to avoid excessive light loss while still boosting contrast. From...
Rock, Please send me an e-mail directly so I can respond to it. I tried sending you something about last night's observing session but I received a message...
I just created an album entitled "Jack Huerkamp KSP 2006". In it are a few images created from the DVD recording made on Tuesday, February 28th at the 6th...
I just received my MallinCam Pro this past week. Last night I got my first chance to try it and I have a couple of questions. 1. Is there any document that...
