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.
