Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and are about to injoy a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I just wanted to know if any one is familiar with this camera and if it might make for a decent astro tool. Picked it up for a song and dance on ebay a couple months back. Had the idea it might work out to be decent astro video cam. It's got a full boat of control though they are on board controls which does make it a little inconveiant but the cam itself is not overly large or heavy. I think this camera is used for educational or medical purpose's. It has a onboard direct VGA out port as well a your coomon BNC ports. If any one is familiar with this camera I'd be intrested to here about it. Any thoughts at all are well come.
AND, to kill two birds with one stone here, just to let you know, I recently posted another string concerning ORION's new STARSHOOT USB DeepSky camera over in "EQUIPMENT TALK" It would please me greatly if you'd have a look and made a comment or two, or do it here if you like, but if you do know anything at all about either one of these afor mentioned cameras I'd be happy to here of it. AND If I am not mistaken, and I probably am, I think that the SONY DXC-151A and this new STARSHOOT may have somthing in common with both using the Exview 1/3 color CCD? Any comments about SONY CCD's for astronomy are also wellcome. I appreciate your help guys, thanks
