Paul, Nice report. You're among the first one to send a report on the camera. Did you use the MC focal reducer with your scope? Trying to get an image of ...
Hi Paul, Congratulations on your new (impressive) camera. I wonder if it is fair to (implicitly) compare the Hyper to the Stellacam II. I don't know the exact...
Hi Melvin, I found out in the past that about 10 stacked images of 2 seconds integration using a Snappy frame grabber equals what we see live on a monitor....
OK...I'm officially drooling and we've had two spectacular nights here in SLC...but...I'm without a MallinCam. I sold both my B&W and Color Ultras and have...
Thanks Rock, appreciate the feedback. I am anxiously awaiting the Hyper color. Richmond suburbs allow me to see the two cores of M51 but that is about all. I...
Stephen, I am back from the star, smoke and rain party and the cameras have arrived from Rock. I will attempt to check them out this evening and start boxing...
Hi Richard, Nice to hear from you on this list Richard. . The Stellacam II is 800.00. The MC Hyper b/w is 999.95. Where's the 50% higher here? It should read...
Rock and Jack Not to prolong this discussion re single frames vs stacked but I would like you to consider the following: Taking a snapshot from a screen is not...
... Melvin, As I mentioned in my last reply, Jack has a video clip made of what your requesting. Check out Jack's web site. I've posted the link earlier. Here...
Hello Rock You missed out somehing in the pricing! There is also the cost of the knowledge to do all this, I bet that did not come free? Hardware costs X...
Folks ... Denis has already give you a brief report of our Friday night session at Foymount. Skies were good, but not the best, and not the quality predicted....
Hi Shevill, Of course you're right. I did not want to bring that part up but mind as well touch the surface of it. For example the cooling system alone has...
Hi Guys, something to add. I can say without a doubt that with my personal setup, their is no difference between a live image on a 800 line quality monitor,...
Melvin, There is a single frame image taken from the M51 DVD recording in my "Jack Huerkamp" photo album. Jack Jack Huerkamp 38388 Pine Street Pearl River, LA...
I'm patiently awaiting my colour Hyper and want to poll the group, and particularly Rock, on a good colour monitor at a reasonable price. Any suggestions would...
Hello: I would like to add my 2 cents on R&D. Rock gave a break down of some of the cost of R&D in his reply but it his last paragraph that I would like to...
I'm one of the newest MallinCam users, but certainly a huge advocate. Although I've been a amature student of astronomy for many years, I only had the...
Thanks Jack. When compared with each other the stacked photo and the single frame are radically different. But I suspect that the live view at the time on a...
Fred, Thanks for the kind work. I just burnt my finger while soldering when I read your post. Rock. ... -- *********************** PRO-COM ELECTRONICS &...
Hi Richard and Rock, I've been away for a couple of days. So I'm a little late answering this post. Last weekend I used my 14" Dobsonian with the Mallincam...
Stephen, Just a note about aperture. I use a 14" Discovery Dobsonian with a Celestron ST80 piggybacked. Since using the Hyper this weekend, I decided to try...
Fred, Hold off your comments. Accidents like this can slow down Rock's hyperactive production. Unlike many of you I started taking interest again in Astronomy...
One of the great advantages with a real time deep sky camera, is that it allows one to see what would otherwise need a much bigger aperture, with its...
Paul and all, I agree about larger aperture. I've grinded my own mirrors in the past, began ccd imaging back in late 80's, and video too, got aperture bug, got...
Hi arrow192234, My apology for a very late reply!!! Ouch! This goes a long way back. I use a aluminum sheet over the entire 12" SCT scope and camera. The ...
Lynn, My apology for a late reply. I use at home 2 units to view color observation with the MallinCam Hyper color. I use the USB 2 adapter which mimic very...
Hello Rock I picked up a few broadcast analogue 14" TV monitors from the ABC TV station when they went digital. Original cost was over $2.500 each and I got...
