Lulin video from ASIGN Observatory

[bloodhound31]

Hi all,

Finally ironed out my signal noise problam thanks to Omaroo (Chris) Thanks mate. My power cable was running parallel to my usb cable and was causing horrid grid-lines across the images.

I shot 21 frames of 180 seconds only to have my camera stop inexplicably.

It wasn't a total loss, as the 21 frames were pretty good. It just would have been nicer to have more without the interruption. If I had shot another sequence, I would have had a big jump in the video, so I thought it best to go for quality rather than quantity.

I have the video on U-Tube, Vimeo and on my web page, with all my other time-lapses.

Thanks heaps all. I went out again last night for another go at a longer video. This time at 200 seconds per sub. I got 15 beaut subs then it clouded over to a uniform orange/grey sky from horizon to horizon in less than 10 minutes!:eyepop::mad2::mad2:

I waited....and waited.....packed up....watched TV...went back outside...checked...waited some more...:mad2:

There was a point when Lulin was too far over in the northwest to even bother if it had cleared, but at 3:45 it was still cloud so I threw my hands in the air and went to bed.

I will try yet again tonight.:screwy:

Anyone got any idea how many more days we have of decent tail display?:shrug:
