A great Night of Live Video Broadcasting

[ballaratdragons (Ken)]

Last night was absolutely fantastic! Crystal clear ALL night.

I spent the whole night live broadcasting till 5:30 this morning
and it was good to see some of you in there again

I forgot to get Screen Grabs of all the objects, but I did remember to get these ones.

All images are Screen Grabs during 'Live' streaming from a Samsung SCC-A2333 camera in a Saxon 120mm f5 Achro, 0.6x focal reducer, on EQ6.
(no post processing)

and 2 that where really hard to get, but I just managed.

Flame & Horsehead.

Yeah, faint, but remember, these are live video!

Paul, go here any time and see who is broadcasting.
If their name is Red, then they are on 'Live'.
Just click on the red name.

Sometimes there is no-one broadcasting. There is only 2 or 3 of us in Oz that do it, so at night we are the only ones likely to be lit up.
There are lots of Americans doing it though and I like watching them in our early afternoon

Looking good Ken that camera is a real performer.
Might accidentally put it in my case at SV camp I see you are on again tonight.

He-he-he! Not likely Bucko!

Yeah, I've got my channel open doing some Bandwidth tests. You can pop in and say g'day.

If the sky clears tonight (10% chance of that!) I want to test broadcasting through Berts 8" Klevstov

Yeah, I see you in here Paul (the broadcast, not IIS )

Thanks for popping in. Sorry the sky is rubbish tonight.

Great stuff Ken. Was cruising the site this afternoon and quite a few good live broadcasts were on offer from Northern Hemi

[desler]

Ah Ken, sorry I missed the all nighter, trying to come to terms with a new toy down here.


Hopefully be imaging to night if the wife is good enough to carry gthe scope out for me (i'll explain that when I see you) Take it easy and well done with the screen grabs, I really like the who concept of live streaming, you've done well.

Great live images Ken. Looks like you are happy with the new camera and I can't wait to see it live in action at SVAC.

[erick (Eric)]

Everyone bring your wireless dongles so Ken can broadcast from camp. Probably chew up quota and spit 'em out faster than AA batteries?
