Hi Gavin Sparkcast can not improve the image. Just making it pleasing to look at, which it’s very good at. It uses the same driver as all other programs. So...
Hi Shevill, It is cold here, real cold! It was recently said that it is the second most coldest winter since World War Two. Dome is frozen. So am I! You are...
Dan, You can set SparkCast to capture 28 or 56 seconds. That would be 28,000 ms and 56,000 ms. Try it and you will see. You can go higher than 9999 ms with...
Bill, Were you using a diagonal with the f/3.3, or were you placing the visual back on the F/3.3 and inserting the MallinCam directly into it? Jack ... From:...
Rock, I see. In effect the images are really handled in the camera. So, if I understand, it really is the same image 210 times? Or is it an average of the...
Rock, I am slowly catching on to some of the issues one faces in moving from MC to refined digital images. I wonder if it is possible to post (on Yahoo site) a...
Hi all, this is a little of topic. The new scope for the our MallinCam has arrived. It's a 18" Obsession, that will tuned to exclusive use with the MallinCam. ...
Thanks Gavin and Rock for the information. It will be tried! Dan Wigley ... left ... digits ... while ... this ... up ... 9.9 ... greater? ... averages ... was...
Lars, This is the first time I have seen the Obsession in pieces. It looks to be well thought out. I suspect it is well built--both fit and finish. Do I see an...
Just ad an info. There's a differnce in the two grabber from Imaging Source. The USB version is only capable of konverting into UYVY, Y800 The Firewire is...
Hi Stan Yes you see the ArgoNavis and StellarCat. Right now I’m having a hard time connecting all the cables etc. But hey, As usual it’s not clear and the...
Thanks Shevill, So the UYVY and the Y800 are the uncompressed, lossless formats (codecs) in IC capture that you use to capture AVI, and AVI can be used with...
Lars, Of course you will have overcast for the next 6-8 weeks, we all do with nice new toys. Nice to know you are in THE CLUB. Grin There are two virtues to...
Jack, No diagonal. Focal reducer screwed on back of scope, visual back onto focal reducer, Mallincam into visual back. You cannot get to focus visually with...
Lars, In the USB version, IC gives the option of capturing AVI in UYVY, Y800, RGB24 or RGB32. Dan Wigley ... RGB 8 ... SparkCast. ... Unless ... Channel, ... ...
Yes, they include the MallinCam. Using the focal reducer and MallinCam gives me a roughly 20 arc minute wide field of view with my 20-cm Meade SCT. Without the...
One more thing about the two. The Firewire version states that the pixel jitter is below 6ns. On the USB version they have no specs. It is important to have as...
Lars Very nice scope. Will you rely on the scopes tracking or use a equatorial platform when using the Mallincam ? [Non-text portions of this message have been...
Hi Dan I rely on the scope tracking, no plans for a eq platform. /Lars Fra: mallincam@yahoogroups.com [mailto:mallincam@yahoogroups.com] På vegne af Dan...
Lars, Gavin, Stan, Rock & anyone interested, Feedback is great, and from the various comments I can see that we all have different requirements, some want to...
Lars, I will, later. You see I fled Michigan a week ago to Phoenix for some sun and fun in the sun...with my Harley and a collection of Astro toys. Sooo of...
Can anyone say what this is? I'm seeing sawtooth like jaggies in my moon captures, and I posted a picture of a blowup detail of a capture. This happens on most...
Hi, Looks like interlace artifact due to image movement. What happens with interlaced video is that two fields -odd & even, are read out in sequence. If there...
