Telescope Reviews: Sky Channels

This is the place where you can sign up on Ustream and Sparkcast to have your own LIVE channel, and give other people around the world a view of your night sky! The tools for this are the MallinCam/StellaCam-like devices, and are as close to real time as you can get. You will need some form of capture device to stream your video onto the site, and some people use webcams to chat with one another. To sign up, fill out the requirements on either streaming site, and you're off and running!
To become part of the list of 'Sky Channels,' please post your information in the 'COMMENTS ON SKY CHANNELS' thread, including your name, Y Live and/or Ustream link, Clear Sky Clock (if available) and location. I will add you to the list. If at any time you wish to be taken off the list, I will also do this at your request.

The Rules:

1. ONLY Astro views allowed. Nothing off-color or personal.
2. The moderators will have the right (and duty) to remove links that EVER display anything other than what would be allowed under the CN ToS.
3. The moderators' decisions will be final, no arguments.
4. Let's see some GREAT live views. LIVE ONLY!!!
5. Be respectful of the HOST of the channel, and others viewing.
THE SKY CHANNELS WEBSITE: a thumbnail preview of all channels on one page.
SKY CHANNELS LOUNGE a place to make announcements, get advice, or chat with other amateur astronomers.

With Sparkcast just download the viewer, and sign up. When you would like to broadcast, make sure that you post the name of your show, and what time you will be going live either here on CN, at the Sky Channels Lounge, or both. It gives you no URL so it will not be a part of the channel listings. For people trying to find a show on Sparkcast, just open your viewer, go to the channel guide, and find the show you want to watch. This is all pretty straight forward.
