Hi Brad
The transmission went really well. I had the events page open listening to their commentary from Bob Berwin (sp?) - he was good. Entertaining, had guests and callers.
Originally they were going to call me and have me on air but never got around to it.
My images looked good on the transmission, but they took up too much of the frame. Because the Moon literally *just* fit in the FOV, after their software cropped and resized it for upload, it took up the whole space in the 'view port window' on the SLOOH site.
They looked good, but would've preferred a bit of black space around it.
The process itself for upload was nice and easy. I just dumped fresh images into a directory that had a different program watching the directory to grab the images, resize, crop and upload. I could've dumped them straight from the camera into that directory, but I wanted to do an auto-colour on most of them first because I was using my modded camera.
