Terry, I'm glad you had fun using Bob's camera on your scope. I would have loved to have been there but I was off on a cruise and couldn't. The imagew you...
Emmett, The problem of not covering the entire FOV with the 12 second mode is probably due to vignetting. When I use the MFR-3 FR in my 8" f/4 Newtonian, I...
Emmett et all, The 12 seconds integration has nothing to do with darker corners in the field of view. As Jack mentioned, it is vignetting. Also, when extended...
Greetings, Here's a image just taken this afternoon (Dec 4 2006) from my Downtown location in Ottawa. Sun was only 22 deg above horizon and just above the roof...
Rock, Beautiful picture. Question for you...What would the same picture look like if you used the "color" cam instead of B & W ? Frank "Until you do what you...
Hi Frank, Thank you for the question. Results would be slightly different but not by much. One of the reason is the outside temperature was -7 C with -11 C....

Shevill, That's great news! Now if I can get or make a cable with the plugs supplied to me by Rock - and then figure out how to uninstall the software , as I...
Hello Jack It is a DB9 going into a DB9 there must be some things going on inside the longer extension. It still fits into a standard serial port. Have you...
Hi, Here are a few places where you can get Mallincam Pro instructions. Those instructions are setting values that you see on the screen when you use the menu...
Hi, I've always wondered if an effective timing of an occultation could be done with an integrating camere. If, as you stated, you had caught the occultation...
Hello All, Would anyone know if this would work on a MC Pro+? Mine has a 6-pin socket on the side intended for a hand keypad, but I don't know if it could be...
Hello Jack The GStar cable & software I have does operate both cameras, the GStar (Mintron) and the Mallincam HYPER without any problems, so I am a happy...
Shevill, That's good to know. However, Mike was inquiring about the older PRO with wired handpad connector ont he side. It can't be used for PC control....
Mike, The only 2 camera ever made from MallinCam that use software control is the former MallinCam Observatory Class (discontinued) and the current MallinCam...
I really don't even know my workflow as I am just winging it. But basically roughly 40x12sec. acuumulations from the Color Hyper thru a Traveler/field...
Howie, Can you post a larger image? It looks good but I'd like to blow it up to see more. Considering how low the Ring would be in your light polluted...
Hi All, I'm a new member. I've had my MC Pro+ for a couple months now and seen all of three good nights to try it out on here in downtown Toronto, Canada. This...

Hi all, I have a question for you. I tried doing a search on this subject but couldn't find much. Through the eyepiece, the difference between a 20" and 10"...

Hi DaveO, I have just started using the Mallincam hyper - had it for a couple of weeks. I would rate myself as a real rank amateur in as I have never done...
Shevill, This is what Rock said on Post 2416. He has also told me the same thing when I spoke to him on the phone last week. As soon as I get my cable, I...
Hello Jack Very strange, but then computer related issues continue to amaze me. I installed the GStar software and 'ran' it without either the GStar & the...
Dave, Based on various telescope I've own and still have, like all things being equal, the larger aperture will collect more light giving views that appears...
Dave, Here's more example between a 10" at F/3.3 and a 16" at F/3.3 both taken at Foymount with different cameras. One was taken with a MC PRO (10") the other...
Thanks for all the kind words. I'm embarrassed though because I know it's not that good. Should do better. Last night I braved windy cold and set up in a mag...
