Samsung video camera + barlow = problem


Graham

Recommended Posts

Hi all.

I have moved this to a thread as I was taking up too much space in the shout box.

Basically I have a Samsung SCB 2000 video camera.

I was trying to shoot some AVIs last light of M99.

To increase the image size I used my Antares 5x barlow.

The problem is with the barlow inserted the camera does not appear to run the intigration cycle.

No barlow camera set to 512 x intigration the image exposure goes up and up as expected.

Barlow inserted camera still set to 512 x intigration exposure stays the same no build up.

Anyone have any ideas as to why this should be ???

Many thanks

Graham

Hi Graham,

Doing another trawl picked up (re Jupiter) - may apply to you??. :-

I use a barlow. I also use the software setting within ManyCam to adjust color/contast/brightness. For the SCB settings, I just lower the integration to the lowest setting to make out the disk w/o over exposure, and then adjust my ManyCam properties.

Cheers

Hi Damian

Not herd of manycam before it might be worth me having a look at that.

Thanks.
