I posted this over on the equipment forum of Astromart and thought fellow MallinCam'ers would be interested: I have been in this hobby exactly 5 years this...
Astro Buds: It is about 2:15 a.m. on Friday morning (yikes) and I just got in from one of the truly most spectacular viewing sessions. I know the hyperbole and...
Hi guys, I understand that the new Hyper color comes with a wall socket power supply but this is essentially useless for me since there is no power socket in...
Radio Shack, use the N connector. Ask Rock about that battery ... From: kwkee To: mallincam@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, August 04, 2006 3:18 PM Subject:...
The hyper color runs on 12volts DC nominal which is what you get from a battery. It is very inefficient to convert this to 110v. AC by an inverter then convert...
I have a Meade LX 200gps 12" in a skyshed in Alt-Az. I have a F3.3 FR as well. I wonder if I can use the Color Mallincam with this setup. Will it work on most...
It will work fine The 3.3 is great, get it as close to the scope as possible and the camera as close to the 3.3 as fittings will allow. I use a SCT to T mount...
Melvin Thanks for the help. Thats what I wanted to here. Brad ... camera as close to the 3.3 as fittings will allow. I use a SCT to T mount then anT mount...
All, Last Saturday night / Sunday morning after doing a extra long shift at work, I decided to go home and open the second observatory where I had a new 14" LX...
Hi: I have ordered a B&W MallinCam HYPER video camera. My planned use of this is education. I have groups of children and adults to my observatory every clear...
Just a quick thought comes to mind, use a flip mirror with the HYPER on the big scope, then you can observe and video on the same scope at the flick of a...
Great Minds Think Alike. Greg we are going to be doing the very same thing. I am looking into purchasing a black and white for use on public evenings at my...
Hi all, Just wondering, is it possible to set the Hyper Color to just B/W if I want to do my own RGB imaging? Understand that it will not be as sensitive as a...
Vin, I was out late last night in my backyard testing the Hyper color I just recently put together with a class 0 ccd sensor and I did managed to get a B/W...
There was a recent suggestion to use a flip mirror setup. I find that my 20" scope will only hit about 1/5 targets close enough on a GOTO to use the...
Bob A flip mirror essentially is the same dimensionally as a diagonal I use the slider made by Van Slyke and it works great. You can parfocal the camera and...
Hello form "Down Under" In my previous email I suggested using a flip mirror so that you can use you video camera and eyepiece for visual use. I regularly use...
All, Just got back in from an all nighter of observing, imaging and fun with various telescopes and video cameras. I've been working on a focal reducer for SCT...
Rock, Images are stunning, even you claim them to be choppy. M27 is breathtaking. I am sure the resolution with 16" is paying off. I checked my two deepsky...
Henk, That's the first time Tiny URL gave me a bad link. I just tried making a new one to Rock's image with galaxies down to magnitude 18.1 indicated on it....
Jack, I added "g"to ".jp"and had no problems. Great that you have identified the galaxies. I have to consider using Skytools as chart-program now as Rock...
Rock, So by turning the APC to minimum, you in effect created a MallinCam dedicated CCD imager with no digital signal processing (DSP) and minimal gain. Is...
Jack, Is Sky Tool still available? It looks like we need some thing that goes down real low in magnitude. I thought Guide 8 would do it but no dice. Time to...
Hi Rock, Thank you very much for your experiment and your continuous contribution through your cameras. I just ordered one, and while it may cost me quite an...
