[Lvas] Whoa! The Mallincam CCD Video Cam is AWESOME!

[Douglas Phillipson]

I deployed it for the first time at a public star party, Redrock, last night.  It performed extremely well.  We saw full spiral structure in M51!  We saw full color in M27, M57, M13, M22, M11, M8, M20, NGC7662, the Cat's Eye and many more.  The camera was awesome.  The shot of M51 required the longest capture time of 96 seconds but after it appeared it was full of spiral structure.  The Mallincam works well with only 10 inches of aperture on my Meade scope.  It shows views far better than I saw through even John's 25 inch Obsession!  I was so hoping that technology could overcome my huge need for aperture and it does beautifully!
