Now thats what I'm talking about !!! Its stunning and Beautiful Is that stacked or just one image. What settings and duration did you use?? Great Job Gavin! ...
Doug and all y'all - I know people are still looking for good focusing monitor solutions all the time and I just wanted to give an update on my experience with...
I'm enjoying MC astronomy with the Archos 605 and recently picked up an Archos 7. Good picture (Archos 7 is stunning screen/picture - will do HiDef),...
I am interested in what you come up with too. Has anyone tried any of the newer TVs (within the last 4 months) because their blacks are better than LCD monitor...
As a new video-imager, I'm out and using the Mallincam MCHP with Cowon A3 monitor with my Obsession 18inchUC and having a great time! Plus, I figured out how...
I am certain this is an old issue. However, I spent hours Monday night trying to get the Mallincam to focus. I have a Celestron NexStar 8". I was attempting to...
Hi Gary, Sounds like you are using a Newtonian reflector, in which case you will not have enough focuser in-travel when using focal reducers. Just try without...
Doug, Here are my two cents, and my apologies if you are already doing these things or know all this. Maybe someone can say what specific setting changes you...
I've uploaded a screen capture from my first attempt at imaging the International Space Station as it flew over Los Angeles last night with Soyuz attached....
You can't come to focus with the diagonal using the MFR3. Gary I use a f/3.3 FR with my NexStar 8SE which is similar to the MFR3. You need to attach the MFR3...
I'm still waiting for my mallincam but I had a similar problem with a DSLR and 8" Newt. I changed over to a low profile Crayford focuser and got an adaptor...
Hi Gary, The MFR-3 has been design to use with a diagonal on a SCT. If your 8" is a Schmidt Cassegrain it should focus no problem at all. We tried it on a...
Doug, Dan, Dan is right in his reply below. If you plan to image with a capture device always lower the AGC since most capture device do not have an internal...
Thanks Ronn. You inspired me to take some shots between the clouds. :-) That's a stacked image. It was about 10 images each of 14 seconds stacked in Registax....
Thanks for all of the responses. My scope is an SCT and I was under the impression that you could use the MFR-3 with the diagonal. I replaced the original...
Thanks a lot Dan and good luck! It looks like the new solar array was actually almost edge-on to me - still better pics to be had! The seeing was actually...

Hi All I processed the rest of my images that were captured on a DVD and then stacked. Most of these images were taken with my C9.25 at f3.5 ecept the last two...
... When I 1st tried my MCHP camera in my backyard with moderate to severe light pollution, I was getting similar results. Your background looks magenta due to...
Johnny, What do you do for focus? I had a beautiful clear view of the ISS tonight, but what I captured was out of focus. I just focused on the moon. Maybe I...
Chris/Doug - Brightness/contrast CAN be adjusted with the Cown A3. Go to "SETUP - DISPLAY - GENERAL. "LCD Brightness" can be adjusted from 1 thru 10....
Dan - I focused on the moon too - at first. Then I adjusted the shutter faster because I figured the ISS would be not nearly as bright as the moon. THEN I...
Johnny, Hmmmm. Puzzling. I'll try a star, but I captured a perfectly focused Kepler launch using the moon. I got a perfect shuttle launch by focusing on...
