(meteorobs) Colour camera advice for Sandia system?

[stange]

This may not be what you are describing,  but the Handyavi Ver. 4.1 is 
designed now to put time stamps on the frames too I believe.

I have not tried that and would have to read the help files to see if it 
requires a check mark somewhere as a user option to do it or whether it is 
now automatic.

Cameras such as Cloudbait's PC-164C(?) are cost effective cameras, (lens 
separate), and can be used with a VERY inexpensive frame grabber such as 
AVermedia DVD EZMaker PCI for meteors. That card is what I am using on (4) 
P-3 & P-4 XP computers for meteors, DSO's(astronomy), and the Daylight 
Hemi-dome. 320 X 240 is the image size I am using.
