This guy was producing insanly detailed images of things using a Canon5D mk2 and a C11 scope. I didnt think DSLR's could be used to that extent! Was very impressive!
These looked like astrophotography pics. The quality was amazing! I have no idea what he was doing but im guessing as he was broadcasting you cant post process images?
His pics of jupiter looked like the hubble!

Either way it was interesting and I think the C11 is the Edge not the normal like mine.

I did see that Ray was on, and another 4 broadcasters, but I missed his. You can run slide shows in NSN by using software like WebcamMax and Manycam. I have done it on a cloudy night. You can also use a DSLR in 'Live View' mode but the exposure lengths are too short for DSO's. Live View is mainly used for locating stars and focussing. I have seen 2 broadcasts last year by people using DSLR's in Bulb Mode (long exposure) and even though they looked great, they were 15+ minute exposures. Not exactly what you would call 'Video Astronomy' or 'Assisted Observing'. More like a semi-live 'Display of Imaging'. But it was still good NSN doesn't mind what camera is used, as long as you are attempting Live broadcasting of the sky and aren't just always doing slide shows of your Imaging.

Ahh ok. Well i dunno what he was doing but his DSO's were awesome too! his M42 was insane and his M81 was breathtaking with huge arms!
Just had a look at his camera and its a 21.1 MP camera and costs about £1k so i guess he really should be getting nice views lol.

Yes Chris, it sounds like he was doing a slide show of his imaging if the shots were that good. Even very long exposure DSLR images need some sort of post-processing to bring out the data, otherwise they are too dark or too noisy.

Someone else that does occasional slideshows in NSN is Gabriel Corban from Romania. When he can't do 'Live' Solar views he runs a slideshow of his previous Solar Screen Grabs. They are pretty spectacular. They were captured with his Point Grey Chameleon USB digital video camera.

I've watched him before, does well with his Cannon dslr, he does it live view and when he's captured enough data he stacks it. I think he's using deep sky stacker live.
