NEAIC/NEAF Pictures, Videos and Live Chats
      #2346613 - 04/23/08 12:32 PM

We are on our way to NEAIC & NEAF where we will be posting pictures in near realtime, videos uploaded throughout the day and at least two live video chat sessions.

The two live video chat sessions are tentatively scheduled as follows:

1) Craig Stark of Stark Labs (author of PHD Guiding and Nebulosity) on Thursday evening. Time to be determined but probably 9pm (eastern)

2) World renowned imager R Jay GaBany at 9pm (eastern) on Friday (4/25)

Times may change. The best place to get the most recent updates it is: http://www.astrophotoinsight.com or http://www.twitter.com/astrophoto

Webcasting Richard Berry's NEAIC presentation right now (1:30pm eastern). Not sure audio is coming through, meter shows low but can't check while broadcasting. Hopefully it is. Presenation will be available as a pre-recorded video if you missed the presentation.

Next webcast presentation will be Craig Stark's guiding presentation at 3:30pm eastern.

We noticed the audio problem at the start and thought we had it resolved since the audio levels were showing a signal. No idea why it wouldn't broadcast out to the web. We're researching it but can't put our finger on the problem.

We're posting a lot of pictures and putting up some quick videos (check out the Takahashi Mewlon-300 Complete System w/EM-500 video). Limited number of videos will be posted. Wasn't planning on doing a lot since CN has a complete set up.

Captured a video product walk thru with Andy Lunt of Lunt Solar System. Some background conversations bleed into the video but a good overview. Uploading soon.

Nice of you to make the effort, Al. Like many others, I found the Lunt products, teamed with Markus Ludes of APM to be intriguing.

We reposted the Lunt video with a smaller one which should be easier/faster to stream online. A smaller version of the AstroTrac video will be uploaded later.

We've also added a link to Craig Stark's guiding presentation.

I have the latest QuickTime running XP and it just comes up with a ?. There are others on the Stark Labs Yahoo group who are reporting the same so was not sure if there is a known issue.

Thanks,

Some folks are saying that they had no problems when they use Safari. I know I will not be downloading Safari and I have not heard anything to convince me to use that browser.

I use the latest Firefox but also used IE 7 and still could not get past the "?"

I'm having the same problem using Firefox on my Mac. The video is actually hosted on Craig Stark's site so I'll work with him on this.

For astro-imagers, we've posted a video of the QSI 532wsq camera introduced at the show. It has a built-in filter wheel, like the 532ws, but also has a built in off-axes guider. The OAG-less 532ws was reviewed by Richard Berry.

Some people are still having problem viewing Craig Stark's guiding presentation from the Stark Labs website. We've set up a link on AstroPhoto Insight that works now on a computer that couldn't display the presentation before.

Hopefully it will work for others that are having problems as well:
