Subject: Re: [Astro_IIDC] Setting up for a mutual event

Hi Terry, 

I wasn`t able to get the Mobile Me link to work. Your link was just taking me to my Gallery page (jn Mobile Me) without any advice as to how to connect. I have looked into things on Mobile Me before but have forgotten my way around! Links through this set-up I`ve found to be impossibly long & complicated so I don`t use it except if all else fails. I was however able to look at your movie on You Tube (quite a long time loading on our satellite broadband). The comparison was interesting but I was left wondering about that other matter you were referring to (atmosphere on Io) but I guess I`d have to bring up the other link?! I should soon be able to get some imaging done again. I was waiting to be able to buy a 2nd copy of Astro IIDC for my new iBook G4 laptop but have been held up in the credit flow department! 

Mark.

In the process of setting up for a mutual event I have been able to document the comparison of three optical paths, three cameras and both the same video product distributed through Youtube and MobileMe.

I made the this video on a MacBook Pro with iMovie.  The video was imported to the MacBook Pro with Equinux Tubestick from an analog video output of a Q See four channel video/audio recorder that I use to capture the video from the telescopes in Redding Observatory South.

The video has been uploaded to both Youtube and MobileMe from iMovie

Thus the elements being compared in this video include 14" LX200R with Knight Owl FR, Vixen ED80sf with 3X Barlow and 902H2 Ultimate, and Stellarvue 70 ED with 

Powermate 2.5X and PC164CEX-2.

And YouTube, and MobileMe.
