I just remember that I started using my new video camera, after I received it a few months ago. It's the following one http://www.astrovid.com/prod_details.php?pid=10 So it was in use, for the suitsat pass. Someone from the Naval Research Laboratory is writting an article on suitsat for the AMSAT Journal. So I will have to correct the info I sent him, on what I was using to capture the pass. So once my pentax digital SLR camera arrives, I will update my page at http://www.kfetter.com/setup/videosetup.htm To show how I wired up the place, for controlling the scope from inside. If I use the following http://www.astrovid.com/ccd_calc.php And use Telescope aperture in mm: 36, this is the aperature of the lens Telescope focal ratio: f1.4 what the lens is set at I get Field of view in arc-minutes: 156.9' x 194.2' Seems smaller, then what results I get using guide. I compared the star feild in the folllowing video http://www.kfetter.com/satvideo/081106/25977.wmv To that above feild of view, and the above result seems to small for a feild of view. Must be doing something wrong somewhere. Kevin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
