Beginner Video Astronomy Kit

12/27/2015

0 Comments

 
MallinCam has released a new kit - it is a great beginner's kit for video astronomy at an excellent price ($240)!

I have been saying the micro is a really good camera for getting into video astronomy, and now it is even easier by providing everything in this kit you need to get started.

If you want to connect it to your computer so you can control it remotely, you can add the RS 485 cable assembly (49.99).  All of the micro cameras are compatible with my MallinCam Micro Extended Control (MMEC) software which is available for free on my download page. It makes using the Micro even easier through the use of presets and extended controls.  Here is a link to my post about how to use the Micro remotely.

I wish this had been available when I began Video Astronomy.  This is a great kit!  Here is the MallinCam link for more information about the kit.

    Astronomy was my favorite hobby many years ago, but was gradually set aside due to work, family and life in general.  In recent years I resumed my hobby looking forward to using the new technology that is now available.  Then I discovered Video Astronomy.  Then I learned how to do it Remotely.  I wrote some books, and decided to set up this web site to continue to pass on what I learn.
