Re: How to use a planetary camera for occultations
|
I have seen discussions of this NTP PC timing issue posted offline.? The issue is not that the observer can get good accurate timing at the PC, the problem is the timing at the PC is not the timing at the start of frame of the camera, and there is no way to precisely calibrate the time lag between the start of frame and the PC time.? The lag is not constant, hence there will always be error in the PC logged time stamps.? Unless I have misread the offline postings.? So getting an ultraprecise PC clock time is not going to necessarily get you an ultraprecise start of frame time on the video sequence. ? Tony George Scottsdale, AZ ?

I continue to monitor NTP Meinberg and I find that the more I use it, the more precise it is. I don't have to wait 1 hour for stability unlike NMEATime2.
NTP Meinberg is operational after 5 minutes, on the go that's reassuring.?
ADOPT for me.?
Happy weekend everyone
