Today I'm suffering from the flu and need something to do. I got VirtualDub to work with the viewfields filter and have uploaded a movie of my Dufour event to...
Hi Geoff, Sorry, my comment was not aimed at what you and Walt are looking into. More in the hope that when observers are reporting their position, they do...
Dave, The method you describe is exactly how I reduce my occultation data. No need for a VCR as you mentioned. My data is archived on the DVR cassette in...
it looks to me as if the Avermedia USB2.0 grabber is the key here. my Sony digital camcorder interfaces to my PC via a firewire connector. does this software...
I use Firewire data downloads for my .avi files. I'm guessing that USB 2.0 is not fast enough to capture all the frames at full resolution, but that is just...
G'day Tony and Vince, The USB2.0 is fast enough and captures at 640x480 and over a 1 minute capture I can't see any dropped frames. Anyway, limovie doesn't...
Dave, You can in fact reduce timings with just an audio track, but it takes time and patience. I use Ulead Video Studio 6 and with that program you can 'scrub'...
... About 12 years ago Dave, I wrote software to predict when a satellite dish pointing at a geostationary satellite would "fail". A large parabolic dish has a...
Geoff, Your 'ramblings' are never annoying. Personally, I wasn't 'annoyed' and hope my comments didn't come across that way. I was just observing the effort...
Hi Geoff, ... Ah yes, the telescope and the fish eye lens, got it. ... Not this bloke, all grist for the mill.. :-) ... Yes, I love it! you can become...
I have just posted a photo that shows my arrangement for giving my Garmin 18 a good look at the sky. A ½ x ¾-inch channel post attached to the left handle of...

Hi Geoff, I'm sorry if my note was interpreted to be specific to the Garmin 18. I meant it to be the general method of time averaging to get a more precise...
Today I downloaded the revised version of limovie, with a smaller window and I could figure out how to place the time signal spots for signal 1 and 2. I placed...
Dave, Indeed, that works with the STVAstro display as well, except that I had to place the spots on the numbers themselves. With strategic placement, you can...
Ok, now I'm totally convinced LiMovie is THE program for IOTA members to use for data reduction. If you click the TlVi set button and then click the cursor on...
... Dave this is a very nifty way to relate the spreadsheet rows to UTC. The 3 stars are added to the Excel spreadsheet when the COLON is visible. You may have...
Hello All, I gave in a previous message (#184), my results of logging the output of the Garmin 18 when set to "averaging mode". The day after, I did the same...
Everything sounds reasonable Geoff. I like the idea of averaging over an hour or so, so that different satellites are used in the average. When doing an...
I have just posted a Word file, GPS_Experiments.doc, to Files for this group. It shows latitude and longitude data obtained at four locations using the Kiwi...
iMovie (and Quicktime) are not by themselves capable of looking at individual fields. You must first process the video images with JES Deinterlacer 2.7.3, ...
Hi, To whom ever that might be interested in extending their Garmin 18 GPS cable, I had success. I started with going to radio shack and ordered a 12' 5-pin...
The biggest problem I see is that your observation reports will be 20 feet in error which could be a video frame or two for occultations depending on latitude...
Hi Dale, I was just answering my old question, you brought the issue about being 20' off up before. In my case anyway I don't view at the scope but in a warm,...
... I think Steve has already said that it is purely "time" he is after Dale. He already knows the position of the telescope from other measurements. So in...
Thanks Geoff, These cables are pre-made. The one from http://www.cablestogo.com/product.asp?cat%5Fid=910&sku=09465 says "Constructed with top quality foil...
... I'm not sure if you have bought that cable yet, but just be careful (for the same reason as the MIDI cable extension didn't work) the AT keyboard does not...
hi, i haven't been watching the group postings for awhile because I've been ill with a respiratory ailment. I'm getting better but I've been in bed quiet a...
Hi, using a Garmin GPS18 LVC with a little circuit and running DOS-KIWI from Geoff on a Notebook I temporary tested the system with a longer cable. The three...
