Hi jjj'

..is that an old analogue videocam, vhs-c/8mm type?
I've been wondering about digging the old one out..and whackin the old capture-card into the pc...( if it all still works )
How'd you attach it? afocal, I presume??
...any focus issues, etc ??

These images were taken through my 10" Dob using an old Panasonic Video Camera.
I uploaded the .avi to the computer then stacked them using Registax.
Not the most hi tech approach I know, but I was more than happy with the results.
