Hi Milton,
Excellent... thanks for posting this.
Can you speak a little more on the new Format7 12 bit mode in IIDC 1.3.2... how this compares with 16 bit mode and I'm assuming, a file size savings and speed improvement?
many thanks,
Alan

Hi Folks;
I just got approval from Point Grey Research (PGR) to release my Review on the "Mystery Camera" - which is a Grasshopper 2 Monochrome Camera:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Astro_IIDC/files/Other/PGR_GS2_Camera_Review.pdf
It's a 1.2 megabyte .pdf and besides characterizing the Grasshopper 2, it also compares the Grasshopper 2 to the Grasshopper 1 camera.
Also, if your attending NEAF, you can drop by the PGR Exhibitor booth and see some of their latest cameras too.
And lastly, Stephen Ramsden (http://www.solarastronomy.org/) will also be exhibiting at NEAF this year too, so if you want to see live Solar imaging with Astro IIDC and PGR cameras, drop by his booth / station.
Clear skies (it's raining here again).
