Quite a set up you have Cliff I must admit I havent used any of my radio equipment for astronomy for quite some time, the good news is the Perseids are appearing big and bright!

Cheers Carl

There is a free version and the V2 which is a 30 day trial. I am using/playing with the V2 one. Well impressed with the Honeywell lens works a treat.

Loads of settings to play with but they are for fine tuning so pretty much plug and play.

I deleted all the UFOs I picked up as I was only interested in the meteors last night :grin: :grin:

Success! managed a couple of the Perseids and a couple of strays. Sammy was set at sense x2, AGC low which picked up the main constellations and aimed below Cassiopia, Polaris to upper left. UFO capture software is very good! A number of clips put together.

Had two video cameras and a DSLR running all last night. A quick review of the output from the all sky camera picked up around 25-30 last night , including a few bright ones - brilliant. I'll check the second video camera and the DSLR this evening when I get back from work.

Checked things out shortly after dark... Saw a real "cracker" visually! Decide to set up... Saw one or two (fainter) examples - Even ONE on the capture screen. ... But not written to disk! Watched rubbish TV until 2 a.m. ... Bedeviled by cloud? Finally went for "artistic impression" (bumped up by integration) rather than "technical merit"? :D

Learned a bit about WIDE field video imaging - Interesting? Overall felt that you do need a specialist meteor cam?

If you try really... really... hard, you can make out the stars of Cassiopeia (on her side!) among the clouds... :p

Chris I was using Handyavi software and intergration on 2, but going to try another software tonight Yawcam which as motion detention also but the files are stored as frames, best make sure I save these to my big Hard drive, because this thing throws out frames as if I won the jackpot on a slot machine.

@ Cliff that's a good capture especially where you've blown it up, looks like its heading straight down here.

just taken a snapshot and all i'm getting is this, but I'll keep it running for a couple of hours and knocked it up to x4 integration just incase there's something behind the clouds that might show up

Hi, I'm using a Samsung 2000P cctv camera, one of the cheapest ways to get into it, and then if you want you can get a dedicated astro video cam like some of the other lads on here if this is your cuppa. If you look at the thread about Phil Dyer cams they're about £100 new or look on ebay for a second hand Samsung SDC 435 or 2000P about £50 to £60. These are 12 or 24 volt ones. There is a higher spec Sammy but double the price but can't remember the model No. think its a 4000P but someone will put me right. John
