IMHO, star trail acceptability is depend on: 1. object taken is near or far away from the celestral pole 2. videocam's integration time 3. True FoV which is determined by OTA's focal length and the imaging chip's size 4. the monitor's display size and the viewing distance I.e., how long the trail is less objectionable percentage-wise out of the full width of the display screen Clear Skies! ccs_hello Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts rolandlinda3 07/29/08 11:51 PM Re: Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts Brooklyn   08/29/08 03:31 PM Re: Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts cold space   08/29/08 05:53 PM Re: Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts Brooklyn   08/30/08 05:43 AM Re: Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts ccs_hello   08/30/08 11:52 AM Re: Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts cold space   08/30/08 07:33 AM Re: Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts nytecam   08/26/08 05:19 AM Re: Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts rolandlinda3   08/26/08 11:41 AM Re: Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts nytecam   08/26/08 12:10 PM Re: Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts nytecam   08/03/08 12:36 PM Re: Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts rolandlinda3   08/03/08 01:43 PM Re: Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts imp_white   08/25/08 11:49 AM Re: Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts rolandlinda3   08/25/08 01:59 PM Re: Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts imp_white   08/26/08 05:03 AM Re: Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts rolandlinda3   09/03/08 11:04 AM Re: Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts imp_white   09/03/08 11:26 AM Re: Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts rolandlinda3   09/03/08 01:58 PM Re: Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts rolandlinda3   09/03/08 01:47 PM Re: Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts rolandlinda3   08/26/08 11:43 AM Re: Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts rolandlinda3   08/25/08 01:55 PM Re: Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts imp_white   07/30/08 05:00 AM Re: Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts rolandlinda3   07/30/08 10:51 AM Re: Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts Bill Cowles   09/03/08 10:58 PM Re: Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts rolandlinda3   09/04/08 04:05 PM Re: Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts Jack Huerkamp   09/04/08 08:34 AM Re: Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts Astrojunk   07/31/08 06:17 AM Re: Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts rolandlinda3   07/31/08 12:35 PM Re: Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts ccs_hello   07/31/08 05:45 PM Re: Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts rolandlinda3   07/31/08 06:29 PM Re: Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts ccs_hello   07/31/08 08:50 PM Re: Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts rolandlinda3   08/02/08 09:52 PM Re: Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts ccs_hello   08/03/08 12:09 AM Re: Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts Astrojunk   07/31/08 06:19 AM Re: Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts Astrojunk   07/31/08 06:19 AM Re: Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts Astrojunk   07/31/08 06:30 AM Re: Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts Astrojunk   07/31/08 06:40 AM Re: Summary--VideoCAM Use on Non-guiding Mounts Chris Schroeder   07/30/08 08:16 AM Extra information 0 registered and 2 anonymous users are browsing this forum.
