MallinCam Micro Extended Control (MMEC) demo on Night Skies Network

If you are thinking about getting into Video Astronomy, you should check out Night Skies Network at
NightSkiesNetwork.ca
to watch Video Astronomy in action. 

You can sign in as a guest and just observe, or you can join in the discussion (via text) about the viewing session.

Since this is an Internet based broadcast, you can see the broadcast from anywhere in the world – that’s really seeing things remotely! 

You will learn a lot just by watching others adjust their camera settings, hear them talking about what they are doing and what is being viewed, and watching the discussion text during the live broadcast.  If you do delve into Video Astronomy yourself, you can sign up for free and broadcast your viewing sessions for others to see as well.

So when you have some free time one night, go over to Night Skies Network and enjoy seeing the heavens through other people’s equipment in near real time! 

My broadcast name on Night Skies Network is NightLights.  Last night I broadcast a live session demo using my Mallincam Micro Extended Control software to show others how it works and what it can do (you can download the software for free on my Downloads tab).   I used my portable Remote Video Astronomy setup - Micro and my C5 scope on my SkyProdigy mount with two focal reducers to convert my scope from F10 to about F3.2 for a wider field of view and shorter exposure times.
