Milton,

Where would the crash logs likely be located? I will send them to you if I can find them. The problem is likely cockpit error, I was in a rush and was not stopping to read the users guide about features that I had never used before. It has been an exciting 24 hours. A once in a lifetime event!

Thanks.. Amazing movie. That looks a lot brighter than Mag 6 (maybe  

they meant Mag -6) that S&T and indicated:

I attempted to export the files to FITS, but could not get that to  

work. ASTRO IIDC crashed each time (the video size was over 2000  

frames). I did export the data to TIF format and the guys from NASA  

seemed happy with that.

Tiff will lose the frame rate information though. And AVI are not  

frame accurate when coming from Apple. AVI can't do variable frame  

rates either. I'm not sure if that was addressed in WMV or not.

Unfortunately the camera was saturated during much of the impact, so  

they could not get an accurate light curve.

Did you keep the crash logs? I never had it crash in my testing - even  

with 5000 frame 16 bit color movies exported. I'd be interested in  

seeing where that happened so I can fix it before the final 409.00  

release.

Thanks for sharing..

Thanks for the offer to help. This event has overwhelmed my meager  

processing skills.

Hi George;

Excellent work. Congratulations on the discovery.

The video link will not work (it's a temporary Yahoo reference link),

but the screen shot looks very intriguing. For the windows  

community -

especially NASA, you can export the movie frames to FITS files in

Astro IIDC 4.09.00 and the OBS Date time field will be down to 0.001

seconds level for timing purposes.

If you need help with the processing or other data extraction - for

example brightness estimates assuming we have a visible moon -  let  

me

know.

TTYL..

Here is a link to my web site where I posted the original screen

capture. It had almost 50K hits over night!!

I hope everyone has seen the news/ video on www.spaceweather.com

that apparently a new impact on Jupiter was caught by a Texas

amateur who was using a Flea 3 and AstroIIDC.
