Hello to all, on http://spaceweather.com/ (22.Feb.2006) there is a great video of a ISS-Moon pass. It seems to me that KIWI-OSD was used for timing. Regards...

Gerhard, cool and thanks for the heads up, I re-posted your note to nzastronomers at yahoo, trust that's ok, the aurora pic was cool as well. Paul Moss ... ...
... You are correct Gerhard, and you can see in his movie, how the OSD text is different to your system - the NTSC text has a slight tilt to the straight up...
Ed's ISS movie is indeed remarkable; I'll try to join him the next time he gives this a try. With the two of us separated by a hundred metres or so, we could...
I am trying to understand how the camera forms the ISS image. Even at an exposure of 1msec the ISS would have been very blurred. It is moving something like 25...

... whereas you have chosen the RHS of the "moon", which is why you get a value of 4.533 - so I don't think we disagree Walt. I have taken a 'snapshot' of the...
Hi Walt, Geoff, I'll give Walt a heads up next time there is a good transit here in the bay area. They don't happen too often, but I usually get a weeks ...

I have a quick question in relation to this old post. When the KIWI-OSD reset button is pressed twice, does it ever make the GPS start searching for satellites...
... Hi Mike, good question! Pressing the yellow button only resets the electronics (all the timing stuff) in the OSD box, there is nothing SENT to the GPS at ...
After being down for a couple of weeks, I have the web-site up accepting orders again. I'm offering a couple new configuration options for the OSD plus...
Thanks for clearing that up. I did not actually check the temperature at the site. The forecast low was for -22C, IIRC, and the event was for 0030 local...
G'day All, ... Ah, strickly speaking, I didn't try for an occultation on that adventure, I just wanted to see how temperture effected the PC164's rate of...
... It counts in my book Dave ;-) What can happen at extreme temperatures, is a component can go out of tolerance, or a quartz crystal oscillator will fail to...
Geoff, Dave, Glad to see your interest in this, my Konica-Minolta A2 starts erratically locking up around 3 or 4 degrees, not uncommon temps for me to be out...
... The circuit is low impedance Paul - so I don't anticipate any humidity issues. Dave Gault (Blue Mountains - Australia) has the first prototype that I ever ...
for the cold extreme temperatures that have been reported, i was wondering, how long was the OSD in that enviroment before it was powered up. remember, it is a...
in a number of threads, Geoff has indicated that I configure the Garmin 18 prior to shipping it. that much is 100% accurate. what he usually says is that the...
Yes, I was thinking along those lines, if its sealed then humidity wont be too much of an issue (apart from condensation) but the internal heat should accepted...

G'day Vince, ... My new Garmin powered KIWI OSD took 1 1/4 minutes to realise it was in Australia and gave good lat/long and another 5 to give good altitude. ...
... I took it out of the car and set it up right away. Next time it is cold like that I'll take along my IR thermometer, but it doesn't like the cold either...
Hello, ... yesterday I started measurements with my KIWI-OSD working under clouded sky. A non contact thermometer with pyrosensor was used. But a low battery...

well, i'm not worried, but i didn't want geoff to be corrected when the problem was with me. i have switched back to North so that it hopefully will lock-in...
