The weather has not been very cooperative so far. I have machined an Adaptor that allows me to use M42 lens in front of SA. I have to discard Minolta 35mm lens, as it did not come to focus. Instead I’m using Pentacon 50mm F 1.8 lens. It works OK with Sigma 136mm F22.8 lens too, but trying to detect meteor with this focal length would be bit unrealistic. I was hoping to get spectra of Orionid meteor shower but couple of meteors my camera detected were too faint and did not record any spectra. Couple nights ago I recorded this, but problem is that I’m not sure if it was meteor or cosmic ray hit. My meteor capture software did not record it as video clip – only as snap shot. That usually means that the event was shorter then 160ms (capture setting of my camera for the meteor capture). In the future I will try to use mono camera because of better sensitivity and resolution.
VSpec is giving me problems on my computer because if I made mistake in selecting options from the menus it crashes.
