I was watching Pat from Utah doing his latest broadcasts on Night Skies Network using his Mallincam SDI Digital Solar System camera. Due to the Moon being Full there was not a lot of interesting shadowed features to look at so Pat did a tour around the Limb of the Moon. Half way around the Moon and I started taking Screen Grabs because the quality of the Live view was extremely high! Then I stitched them together in Autostitch. There has been no post-processing done to the view, just autostitching the frames together. Here's one of the Screen Grabs so you can see how it looked 'Live' then after cropping out the video frame I stitched four Screen Grabs together for this view: Well done Pat. The camera does a great job too!

Ken I have never understood why all our video cameras are analogue when Astrophotography is digital. What has changed that we are suddenly seeing digital video in Video Astronomy? Paul

Paul, Digital cameras are high speed and the sensors have tiny pixels. Great for Lunar Planetary Imaging. No-one has yet invented a HD sensor that has large enough pixels for low light or DSO's. We all hope though Someone with a more technical knowledge could probably answer it better.

Wait till we get into Ultra High/4K resolution. That's what the Mallincam Universe was made for. People will have a hard time keeping their socks on. It's not hope you need, it's just a matter of patience. We benefit from surveillance technology, a multi million if not billion dollar industry. The bad guys want to hide in the dark and the good guys want to see them. Who do you think has more research money available to accomplish their goal? I heard a rumor from a very credible source that sounds to me like a marriage between night vision technology and CCD imaging technology. Too early to tell what will come of it but what is important is that there is research going on in the area that will benefit us the most. The best has yet to come.
