My kids eat me out of house and home by watching Youtube. Don't ever want to get slowed to 64kbps again.

Ken used my wireless internet last camp. He used over 1 GByte during that time - was that 3 nights, Ken - about 7-8 hrs per night?

Yep, that's about right Eric.


I am broadcasting right now if anyone wants to drop in and have a look and a chat: http://www.nightskiesnetwork.com/liv...ey%20Australia

Mind you, if your ISP gives you free upload (any of those still around??). you're laughing!

Thanks Jeanettie and all the others that dropped in during the very early hours of this morning during my broadcast.

It got quite crowded in there for a few hours with all the regular viewers from Australia, USA, Canada & UK, plus some folk from in here, and Jeanette and all those she invited in from Facebook

Had a great time looking at some of the same old regular objects (but the Northerners love seeing them ), then some new objects, then I started showing objects and the viewers had to guess what they were

Was a great night.

And all 'LIVE'.

I had a ball Ken. Looking forward to next time.

I am 'live' on air now if anyone wants to drop in and watch and say hello

Sorry I missed it Ken. I've had to pull out of broadcasting myself because I can't abide to their terms and conditions

Last night was finally clear until a fog rolled in at about 3am.
No wonder my on-screen live views were starting to lose a bit of quality by then (it shows in my Eagle Nebula pic).

But up until then it was a great night with a whole bunch of great targets and great people dropping in. Thanks

This was the first real chance I have had to test out Bert's (avandonk's) Skywatcher 6" f5 Achro with my Samsung Camera.
It sucks in some good light

Out of the few Screen Grabs I remembered to get I got some fairly reasonable ones, all with the 6" f5 Achro, 0.6x focal reducer, modified Samsung SCC-A2333 camera, all up on an EQ6 mount.
All are single 10 second integration Screen Grabs from live feed during my NSN broadcast last night (NO post-processing).

They are all great examples of what you see 'Live' on the screen with Video Astronomy.
WYSIWYG
Time to throw away all those EP's and see objects 'live' in colour
