Back in 1998, my local astronomy club purchased a small, black & white video camera known as the AstroVid. As a club member, I was able to borrow this new gadget and hook it up to my own telescope. I had it for a month and absolutely loved it!! It was so cool to be able to put the telescopic view of the moon and planets on a TV screen. I made a short video and presented it to my fellow club members at the very next meeting. |

Soon thereafter, I sold my beloved drum set and purchased the new and improved version called the Astrovid 2000. Not only could I take live video recordings of astronomical events, but I could capture still frames to my computer using a Snappy device. It was a great alternative to film astrophotography and worked very well on solar system objects. Below are some examples of the images that I was able to make. |
