Roland Christen succeeded in separating 4 (not 5) components with only a 10" and a ST10XE. We have to wait for a similar video camera image. I think I will ask...
Lonnie and Richard, I will be using my 16" instead of my 12" SCT which I just sold a few minutes ago. I believe high F ratio and long exposure are needed. The...
... camera ... I agree, but Roland also used 10 hours of exposure at f22. We can't equal that easily. It's much easier for us to go with a much larger scope,...
Hi all, Some people have asked me what the capabilities of the Mallin*Cam Pro are, with all the accusations that it's merely a rebadged Mintron. Well, here's...
Hi, I was out in my backyard in suburban Toronto last night hoping to see the northern lights again (the ones on Sunday night were spectacular) but no luck. I...
Wingko, Excellent images! Your telescope has shown amazing resolution and very sharp optics! I know I ask you before but what kind of frame grabber do you...
Thanks, Rock. I will modify the camera settings as per your suggestions next time. I am a newbie and has yet to learn image processing. Right now I just...
Wingko, Your images are indeed very nice. I simply try to help anyone with suggestions to further improve any images. Did you buy a extension tube to achieve...
- Yes, I did use a 3" extension tube from Televue to reach focus without the diagonal on the NP101. ( I could not reach focus with the diagonal on, the light...

Hi, They were take with the MallinCam PRO and 10" SCT LX200 at f/3.3. Also the location for all my images are from the roof of my house in Orleans Ontario...
Thanks, Denis. I am expecting delivery of a C8 which I hope will allow me to see deeper from my backyard with the MallinCam Pro. I am currently using a 4"...
Wingo, Are you getting a focal reducer with the C8? That's critical when using the PRO on an f/10 scope. The f/3.3 unit sold my Meade works quite well with a...
Wingko, You will need a F 3.3 focal reducer for the C8. If deep sky object are your main interest, its a must to have a F/3.3 focal reducer. A SCT has such a...
Wingko, Jack is right. The best part is, on any SCT with a focal reducer, the F ratio can be varied. If you pull the camera out to the edge of the holder, the...
Dear Rock, How does the MallincamPro react to skyglow? I know you live downtown Ottawa. So I suppose you have to deal with skyglow as well. Here in Arnhem in...
Hello Rock, In which way(s) is your variable focal reducer limited? Is it really true that with your focal reducer there is no (extra) in focus travel...

Richard, In the case of my 17.5", I can achieve focus with both the PRO and the II Color without cutting the tubes. However, I need a slight amount of...
Hi Richard, and Henk Any focal reducer that fits inside a 1.25" adapter and is to be used on a SCT will be limited. But on a Newtonian or a refractor, our...
