Before purchasing a Toucam, I used a Fuji S5600 digital camera coupled to a Pentax SLR lens (See Sky and Tele Letters Mar/Apr 2007) to produce pictures of the moon. It was very successful and by using both the camera zoom and the lense focal lenghs I was able to control the image size. At that time I was unaware of using AVI and processing it in Registax. A friend suggested using it to compare the results with the Toucam. I tried a few seconds of AVI taken with the above set up, but Registax will not accept the file.
Has any member tried a digital movie file and found away to process it in Registax?
Laser pointer
For the aged who suffer with a stiff neck when trying to sight their scope, the laser pen used as a pointer is just marvelous! I made my own adjustable holder, which only took a few seconds to line up the test star to my prismatic finder scope and I found and viewed more objects in two hours than I had seen in the previous 6 months of viewing.
