Re: (meteorobs) Perseid Meteors with HandyCam



Malcolm:

    No I haven't noticed any meteors.  This kind of camera might only be 
useful for bright fireballs.  The advantage is that I could set up and just 
let it run while I observe variables or meteors.  I do not have a lens, just 
use a 1 1/4" adapter with the scopes.  I will need a fast lens that can cover 
the mirror, I guess.  The camera, adapters, power cord and cables were about 
$150.  The inverter to power all this from the car battery was about $100.  
The other stuff I had.

    Clear skies,
