Another night of great seeing in Sydney yesterday. Been playing with the Mewlon 210 and a new small video cam. ZWO ASO 120MM. Bit of stuffing around the moon at first trying to figure out drivers, spacing, the best software capture to use, video or still frames, calibration, etc... So a bit of trial and error. Lots of potential once I iron out all the "bugs".
Very small pixels at 3.75um. The field at 2.4m is about 6 arc min square.
I did try both videos in Firecapture then as an ASCOM camera in Nebulosity 3 and also tried as Video CAM with various levels of success. Haven't settled down on the best way to do this yet, although I do like the firecapture real time stacking like the old SBIG STV cameras.
I ended up having to guide with the lodestar on an OAG. Next will be the AO and try to do videos only. I had issues flat fielding and calibrating. Haven't got that one right yet. Because of the lack of vignetting my best bet will be to clean the sensor and camera window and keep it simple.
Looking forward to play with it again when weather allows. If anyone has had some success in firecapture or doing longer exposures with these type of cams please chip in and let us know.
