I tried a new technique for Afocal, pretty unorthodox. I found a usb video capture cable on the net for 17 bucks and plugged that into the digital camera. This allows me to use the manual mode on the camera and adjust the exopsure, etc... and see the live results in Sharpcap and to capture the video at 720x480 AVI, instead of the 640x480 mpeg in the camera. Although I was hoping for better, it was a good test. Seeing was not very good, and I still need to experiment with the settings more. It's certainly better than I have been able to get with the digital camera so far.
