Rock, I have been setting the AGC to MAN with the slider either maxed out or close to it. Is that why I am getting amp glow across the top of the frame using ...
Jack, I have the Stellacam II as you know! I could focus without the reducer but could not get "in" far enough with it! I also thought of shortening my tubes...
I too would be very interested in any comparisons. I have a 15" Obsession with ServoCat and am considering either a Mallincam II (or Pro) or a DSI. Both...
Dan, It appears that the video wars are picking up again! Just when I thought things were settling down. I noticed that you asked about the SAC 9, and Rock...

Many Thanks Jack, Yeah, I've been doing this since the late '70s! Started with an SLR and then I made a cold camera once :) Had the Starlite HX916 for about 2...
Dan, Up until I discovered video astronomy, I had NO interest in any form of imaging. It was always too technical or required too much additional stuff to...
I had a home-made "tilt off" at my last place. Worked great with my old German equatorial. Problem is, with a dob, the walls must be short which eliminates...
Hey All, Can one simply hook up a CRS monitor to the monitor jack on a laptop? The jack on the laptop has 3 rows with 5 holes each. The CRS monitor's input...
Greetings, On November 22 2004 I managed to image m 57 through the neighbor's trees with my new LX 200 GPS 14" at F/3.3 This is a total of 6 images stacked...

Sunday night I collected a DVD-RAM disk full of Saturn, Macholtz, and other treasures by hooking my MallinCAM color to my new Panasonic DVD recorder. The VRO...
Dave, Thanks for your post. Alderic Sabourin and I were thinking of doing exactly what you are doing. I even bough a recordable unit only to find out we could...
Dave, I've been capturing Mallincam Pro video on my DVD recorder for quite a while. You can convert those files with conversion software available from ...
Thanks Paul, I've downloaded the DVD to AVI converter you suggested. I have another freeware conversion program that began cooperating as soon as I renamed the...
This is slightly off topic, but I need help in collimating my 8" f/4- f/15 Newtonian-Cassegrain. I use the scope in f/4 mode when I am observing with my...
Jack, Collimate your scope at F 15 using a faint star near Polaris. The angle where Polaris is will make collimation a near 43 -45 Deg. Also, use the zoom on...
Jack, I forgot to tell you, a laser cannot give you an accurate enough collimation on your scope. Using a star is the best way to final adjustment done to your...
Rock, I wish it was that easy. To change from f/15 to f/4, I have to swap out the hyperbolic secondary to the optical flat. I will still try to use the camera...
Hi, I just got a C8 and plan to do some planetary and lunar imaging with it. I currently have a Mallincam Pro that I use with my 4" refractor. I wonder if...
