MallinCam day

Weird, how many things MallinCam occurred today...
  • connected our MallinCam Hyper Color to our Tele Vue and successfully imaged the Sun in Hα on our flatscreen monitor
  • corrected the flatscreen monitor representation with 4:3 ratio
  • Dietmar told me about a MallinCam article in the latest issue of SkyNews
  • when Denis arrived the CAO, he handed me the said issue to read
  • before Denis left, he gave me a piece of computer hardware that enabled connection to a computer and the capture of live video and snapshots
  • I easily found and installed and operated the software for live video viewing of the MallinCam
  • Dietmar brought a 3" custom photo extension tube made by Dave S.
  • I found a standard 2" photo extension tube in the eyepiece cabinet
  • I was able to halt the society's processing of my gift-in-kind of a new 2" photo extension tube
Some weird nexus. Strange how it all happened at once...
