Guest peepshow Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Many APers do remote control of their telescopes. Has anyone here used camera wireless memory cards to help facilitate this?

Guest peepshow Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Who is going to be brave enough to tie a wireless card around the cat's neck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest StevenWhatley Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Hi, I have used one of those wireless cards, for normal daytime pics, and works flawlessly, never had a problem, they create there own wireless network, so you get a very strong signal, obviously if you use one for astro imaging the files will be bigger if you use RAW mode, so,that may slow it down slightly, and yes you could do away with a cable, but not if you want to control the camera remotely, you would still need the cable for that, so I would say not a lot of point in using a wireless card if you want to control camera by a PC in an observatory, as you still need the cable, but if not then they are a great idea and work very well. Regards Si very good point !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
