Re: dob tube length vis a vis CMOS imagers
Gary, When Dave K. recommended Mallincam cameras for his Obsession customers I took the bait. The Mallincam DS series of cameras only have a backfocus of 17.5mm.? This means no modification was

Re: dob tube length vis a vis CMOS imagers

Steve, My apologies - I should have announced it. I did it. It was indeed just that discussions of ASIAir are for the moment premature. There's a lot of effort that would have to happen before it's

Ricardo, Hello sir! The ServoCAT protocol 'contains' the Sky Commander protocol - which is only 2 commands - but it is very rich and diverse beyond that. There are indeed more commands and much more
