Hi Charles, Welcome to the group. The MallinCam use 10 bits. It can be used for planets with excellent results. I'm just waiting for clear sky over here so I...
Rock, Thanks for the nice comments on the images I have placed in the photo section. I have only been videoing since early September, and still have a lot to...
Shah ... Several months ago at Foymount, I was able to see the Horsehead very clearly, live on the monitor using an 8"SCT (LX-50) and Mallin*Cam Pro. Your 8"...
It's common knowledge that at F1.9 you're scope is about 3 times as fast as at F3.3. But how about aperture? Definitely a 20" scope will go deeper than a 10"...
In past imaging using my MallinCam PRO and 17.5" f/4.58 TeleKit, I measured the FOV of images and came up with an eyepiece equivalent for the PRO. The PRO was...
Hi Jack, I use Guide 8 to measure what I get for field of view. By simply backing the camera away from the F/3.3 focal reducer, you will get a wider field of...
Rock, I just pulled out the instructions that came with the F/3.3 focal reducer and also figured out that I probably had the camera too far into the 1 ¼” ...
I have just posted an image taken of Comet C/2004 Q2 Machholz to my album in the Photo section. It is a stack of 10 frames from a video taken with my PRO, C-8...
Jack, I just looked at your image of the comet, and I noticed more images you posted. Some of these images are awesome! I should sell my new 14" and stick to...
Rock, I added Simon Hanmer's website to my favorites as well as Denis Legault's CPO. I also revised the included and optional equipment page to show the ...
Hello, Group I just joined up tonight and have a question? I just bought a used B/W ITE Deep sky pro EX camera to use with my 10" LX-200. Any thoughts on this...
Check out the following link: http://aberrator.astronomy.net/V3/index.html The new version will have support (still experimental) for field de-rotation! (Check...
Last night, I took out my old, orange C-8, Meade f/3.3 focal reducer/field flatener, MallinCam PRO and 12" MallinCam monitor to do some observing. I looked at...
Hi Jim, Welcome to the group! The ITE is a fine camera indeed. Denis Legault has a LX 200 GPS 10" equipped with a F/3.3 focal reducer which has proven very...
Jack, Lucky you! Still cloudy here in Ottawa! Can't wait to get my second LX 200 14" and hook up the video camera! Rock M. ... -- * * * * * * * * * * * Pro-Com...

Rock, Two things: 1. The 12" MallinCam monitor is fantastic! I had it and my TV/VCR set up Saturday night at a friend's observatory. Within about 5 minutes...
Rock, I have a few other images that I will upload to my photo album for the group to look at. Jack Jack Huerkamp 38388 Pine Street Pearl River, LA 70453-5192 ...

Hello, Rock Thanks for the response back. No I don't have a f/3.3 reducer yet. My scope is a f/10 but I do have a f/6.3 reducer which will have to do for a...
Jim, If you have a F/6.3, it will do. Simply back the camera as far as possible from the focal reducer and you should be able to reach about F5.5 or so. The...
Jack, Congratulation on such fine imaging! The Veil and 52 Cygni are simply stunning! The Running Man is incredible! The Flame and Horse Head are fabulous. A...
