compared BYN and BYE

Ian W and I sat down in the GBO Warm Room, which was nice and cool, to do a side-by-side comparison of Backyard Nikon and EOS. We connected our DSLRs.

Overall, very similar. And, to me, that was impressive and good. Along the way, I helped Ian configure his BYN Weather Center for Collingwood.

I will craft a more formal report soon...

Forgot to take screen snaps at the time.


Ian sent over a shot from the BYN main screen.


I grabbed the BYE main interface.
