I have picked up a new older model Watec 902HS camera for video work. The camera works great at night with a manual iris lens, However, due to its view of the...
Hello Paul, I have the specification sheet for the 902HS, but it's unclear about which type of AI drive it uses. I can email you a scanned copy of the leaflet...

Thanks Andrew, I already have the spec sheet, and as you know, its not much help. I've already googled 902HS, and that brought up all kinds of links with...
I'm sure I once knew how to solve this, but I'm not finding suitable answers in a web search, but this is probably straight forward to most folks on this list....

After a day of fruitless experimentation I gave up and tried formatting the 10GB disk as a secondary on another Win98SE machine. It came up with a "fatal...

Hello Paul again. I have now tried the AI lens that I use with my Watec 902H on the 902HS and it works OK. It's the lens that I believe a number of members of...

Rob, I remember two problems with old PCs and large disks. If my memory is right, the 2 GB limit comes from the FAT16 filesystem. When you run fdsik is asks...
Hello Sirko, I'm processing my files with POSTPROC Ver. 4.1. Normaly I will be asked at the end if I want to produce a tracing image. But in one configuration...
Hi Bernd, there is no need to create a new tracing image if no false detection is deleted. It would be the same that MetRec has created. Best, Sirko -- ...
Hi, are there any practical impediments to writing a driver for a different frame-grabber to be used with MetRec? I find it ridiculous we have to hunt for a 10...
I just saw a matrox II on ebay.co.uk and made an offer just to discover that our fair group moderator beat me to it a few hours later and out bid me and bought...
Hi Alin, I'm quite embarassed about your mail, but I still did not moderate it. I tell you something: Over the last 7 or 8 years I have purchased roughly 50 ...
Hi, I'm fairly new to this group and have just abotu assembled a computer, graphics card, and camrea for use in central NM, USA. What drivers do I need to have...
Mark, ... you need to install the Matrox Meteor II driver that comes with MetRec (driver.zip) unter Win98 once. Thereafter, the grabber will be found no matter...
Hi. I have a problem with Metrec and Matrox Meteor II under Win98. I instaled drivers for a card, as is written in Readme file. But, if try to take a test...
Hi Mitja, ... did you try to run grab from a DOS box in Win98? That won't work. You either need to restart Win98 in DOS mode, or (even easier) prevent Win98 ...
I can't answer your question, but you might want to avoid trying to run Metrec inside Win98 completely. What I do is run it on machines with XP installed (but...
Dear List, I try to select a camera for my system in Hungary. I got a bit confused about camera types: Many users refer to the Supercircuits PC164C camera as...
Hi Antal- The Supercircuits PC164C is a KPC-350BH. The PC164C-EX2 is a KPC-650BH. I've tried both, and found the lower resolution model has slightly better ...
Antal, to my knowledge, only Carl Hergenrother is using the PC164C camera in the IMO Network, and this camera seems to be less sensitive that the Mintron and...
Folks, the Computar lenses (3.8mm, 6mm, 8mm) with f/0.8 have always been my first choice for meteor cameras. I'm still convinced there is hardly a better lens,...
Hi all. Metrec works almost perfect, but I have a problem with the autorestart. At the end of the night (at 05:59:59 LT) Metrec freezes and doesn't respond to...
Hi Mitja, ... that is indeed a strange behaviour that I cannot explain easily. What recognition end time does MetRec compute: I assume 6:00? Or is the camera ...
PS: Are you observing in the same direction? There is significant difference in the number of meteors depending where you are watching. Just to give you an ...
