Bill has found the Astrovid 2000 a fine match for his C-14 which he uses exclusively at prime focus, f/7, for his lunar and planetary imaging.  An old 486 computer is used to capture images directly from the camera using a Snappy 3.0 frame grabber, only occasionally recording with a Panasonic AG-7750 S-VHS VCR.  He uses PhotoStudio 2 to process his images.  Bill is presently working on partial remote capabilities so he can work from his house using Skyview software.
