An article caught my eye a couple months ago in Sky and Telescope that detailed a new breed of low light video camera made to be used on telescopes. One such camera is the ASTROVID StellaCam II. It occurs to me that this might be a good product for telescopic satellite observing. I spent a little time looking at some ISS photo web sites, and was surprised that some of them do not go into detail regarding the camera used to capture their images. Therefore, I am left wondering if they are using an astronomical video camera or not. I would like to receive some opinions as to whether listmembers feel this would be a good instrument for satellite imaging and viewing astronomical deep sky objects. --- Judy Meade 12" LX200 f/10 SCT with polar wedge _~O __O Judy May tandembike@worldnet.att.net _-\<,_-\<,_ (*)/---|/-(*) Life is a journey ...
