Advice Needed-All sky cam/fisheye

Dave G, could you modify the model?

Conor,

I'll have to do a bit of research and see if the camera uses circuitry which is modifyable. I'll check it out.

ok Thanks!

Hey i got all the equitment set up last night with the cam and wow! I coulnt believe the standerd of imaes i was getting. The detail was fab and it was great watching the moon drift across the FOV on the laptop. Is there there any way of producing a bigger image in the end as cams have a very samll FOV.

Thanks again to dmcdona

No worries Conor - glad you're getting images

I don't think there's very much you can do about the FOV. Its related to the size of the chip and your 'scopes focal length. A focal reducer would help but they're not cheap.

The only way to get bigger images would be to shoot a mosaic and then stitch it together later...

Cheers

Dave
