Hi! Im Dr. Armando Lee. New to occultation but already veteran in Astronomy. A Physician by profession but Astronomer by "heart". I joined this group to know ...
Hello Doctor Lee, It seems half the world of occultation observers are waiting for KIWI OSD to come into production. I have the first prototype and have been...

Hello Rudy, ... Yes, there are photos of the KIT and the ordering page. ... You need to ask Graham if he is looking after you Rudy. Vince is the man in the USA...
Hi everyone, I wanted to alert folks that at least on my Garmin 18 LVC, S/N 24901913 (I guess it is the serial number on the bottom), there are three (3) black...
... Yes indeed, the batch of GPS's that Vince has just received from Garmin are the same Sandy, 3 black wires, that all go to GND. Just a note to readers, folk...
G'day Vince, To start the ball rolling... I have a hand wired KIWI OSD (thanks Geoff) and have been using it since January to record many lunar occultations...
Hi Dave and Vince Like Dave I have been using PC164C, (without manual gain control) and a KIWI OSD supplied by Geoff since January for total lunar occultations...
Sandy, I noticed the same thing when i kept "playing" with the cable to the point where I had to strip off more shielding. I called Garmin and they told me...
Hi All, KIWI OSD has been designed to have "predictable" behaviour with regard a leap second. If the OSD is used during an epoch that straddles from 2005 to...
Hi Brian and all, ... When using these USB grabbers you have to make sure your port is USB2.0 otherwise you can't get the frame rate. When doing movies of the...
Anticipating receipt of my Kiwi OSD in a couple weeks, it is time to consider its deployment within the overall video system, specifically routing of power and...
... Dave, what do you mean by the firewire taking control of the camera? My experience has only been with video imaging of the moon. I have a KT&C 650, which...
G'day Stephen, ... When I grab sequences to PC with firewire, the remote control on the Canon camcorder stops working and I can't pause/advance, pause/reverse,...
... Does this mean I should use USB input to the PC? The input to my PC is USB2.0, but the recorder output is plain USB. Will Ulead Studio 7 be able to produce...
Hi Walt, It is nice to see you planning how to use your new technology. ... One of the aspects of using KIWI OSD that has not really been discussed yet, is...

Dave, I think I answered my question. I can enter DV to the computer with the USB port. It works OK with the PIXELA software that came with the GVD-1000, and...
G'day Steve, I'm glad you've got a handle on the process. Re your GVD-1000 and the 4inch LCD monitor... I use a 6inch black and white CRT monitor and when...
... I've never tried it on faint stars. My portable scopes are a C-5 and a C-8. I'll try some tests when it clears again. If stars show up on the computer file...
Just to clarify this, those of us who have or will order the Garmin 18 with our KIWI-OSD orders will not need to do this updating or configuring, is that...
... Steve to put your mind at rest - if you order your Garmin 18 thru Vince as per his website: http://www.pfdsystems.com/kiwiosd.html then the "18" is...
