[Lvas] Maiilncam: Was Green Lasers

[Phillip Krumpos]

Will there be any Mallincams at Valley of Fire on January 5, 2008?  I hope 
there will be at least one Mallincam out their that evening.

I think this thread now merits its own subject.  (Mallincam)  I'm going
to try to capture The Crab Nebula and the Horsehead tonight with my 10"
Meade and a Color Hyper Plus Mallincam.  I may only do it visually
though.  Thanks for the tip on "Assisted Visual Observing" at
cloudynights.com.  I referenced the Mallincam on CN several times and no
one had ever heard of it before.
