Hi Mark, that is possible, of course. In the past I have also used some video DVDs for testing purposes. What's not working, though, is to digitize the video...

Hi, I am new in video meteor observation. I try to figure out the best settings for my new Watec 902 H2 cam. It appears that manual gain mode with the pot in...
Hello Antal, Is your priority to observe all meteors or just fireballs? In the latter case I would reduce the manual gain quite a bit, and use gamma HI setting...
Folks, the limiting factor for the accuracy of our video observations is often the number of reference stars: If you measure too few reference stars, the plate...
Folks, right now seems to be a good time to get cheap Meteor II grabbers. Whereas I still have a few for 80 .. 90 Euro in stock, I saw several offers for 50 to...

Hi Rui, how about grab -2 -ntsc filename.bmp and MetRec parameter VideoSignalType = NTSC? :-) MetRec supports both PAL/CCIR and NTSC/EIA - you just have to...
Hi Sirko, I've started with that, -ntsc option, but no image at all?? If MetRec support it, independent of model, the problem must be a bad connection (video...
Hi to all, A short email just to say my "watec problem" is now solved ;-) After all it was a "bad" connection with a BNC/RCA accessory. At same positions,...

Hi to all, concerning that kind of lens, it happens that last night I made a visual test with an COMPUTAR T3Z2710 CS VARIFOCAL 2.7-8mm F/1.0 lens for 1/3"...
Hi list, I need some lenses for a Watec 902 / 902HS and I don´t know if it need DC auto-iris or Video Auto-Iris. I already have a Watec 902H and it needs...
