I used to belong to AMart years ago.

I joined again recently.

I've been doing some astrophotography lately. Been at it for a few months.

So, just saying hello after being away for a while.

I bumped into a write-up on Eye-Fi WIFI capable SD cards. Never seen one in action.

Anybody use one of these? (Transcend also makes them AFAIK.)

As far as I can tell, you stick this card into your DSLR and it will send each image (once captured) from your DSLR to your laptop (no wire connection needed). You need to download the app from Eye-Fi onto your laptop and the laptop must be WIFI capable.

That is what I understand.

You can get one of these things cheap:

Since I'm pursuing the mirrorless camera idea, this seems like a cheap way to get a WIFI capable camera with a sensitive sensor. I'm particularly thinking of trying a Sony Nex-5N.

If you have any experience with these, let me know. Thanks.

I am using a Canon 450D to do AP. I'm thinking of doing the mod myself.

I operate on a shoestring budget (yeah, I know how ridiculous that is when trying to do AP). So I'm hoping to find a good deal by buying a leftover from someone who bought a filter and then never got around to doing the job.

Where in the Classifieds would such an object appear? I assume "filters", but then one never knows!

BTW, since we're on the topic, is the Baader BCF filter the only one people use?

(I have a Meade f/9 102mm APO on an AVX using a Canon 450D.)

My account expires tomorrow.

Amart is mainly a market for buying & selling.

And if you're not buying & selling, why pay $15 ???

Very little ever happens in the Forums (expect, oddly enough, in all those categories like politics that have nothing to do with astronomy).

So, I'll once again disappear from Amart till I need to buy or sell something.

Have a good time everybody.

PS I was one of those who paid my $12 years ago for what was SUPPOSED to be a permanent membership.

Very nice image.

That is a beautiful image, Dave.

It's wonderful when it all comes together after collecting all that data!

Joe

Very nice image.

Joe

Can you take a picture of the moon?

Joe

Many thanks for that link, Maurice!

I think the main accomplishment of the mission was to show once and for all that comets are rocks.

Joe

Liked your image!
