Tonight, I finally tried out the meade ccd camera I have had for awhile. I got some test images, for a area around Capella. I used a focal reducer, so as to have a wider feild of view. Used the ccd camera, with my 4 ince refractor. Will tommorow determing feild size, faintest star seen. In the meantime, here's my test images. http://www.kfetter.com/meade2/8sec.jpg http://www.kfetter.com/meade2/15sec.jpg http://www.kfetter.com/meade2/30sec.jpg Capella become messed up, in the longer exposure's, I don't give a beep. I be using the ccd camera, to look at geo sat's, and other high up stuff. Then look for a trail caused by them. But looking at geo sat's, and other high up stuff could be awhile. I am so use to using the video camera, as I like that way of observing. Kevin __________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
