I guess I'm going a little retro here, but here is a 200 frame stack of Jupiter shot with a Meade Electronic Eyepiece from a DVD I burned last April.

-Meade Electronic EP (an old analog NTSC format freebie camera that came with a $20 60mm closeout scope; the scope was useless; no barlow used)

-Meade 2080 (8" SCT)

-RCA DVD Recorder (a stand-alone home use dvd/dvr not connected to a PC)

-Post processing software: Registax, Roxio PhotoSuite 5, Cyberlink Power DVD (to capture images from the DVD)

I'm adding this Saturn shot I just processed from a DVD I burned earlier this year to this Jupiter-post-thread, that I also shot through the Meade Elec EP.

I'm posting them here because I've never seen Meade Elec. EP shots posted anywhere that are like these and maybe somebody might have been curious about this device way back in yesteryear when they came out. I didn't rotate Saturn on purpose to show that the very tight cloud bands and spots are a feature on the planet and not an artifact (and I didn't want to re-sample the image and lose more data)

If somebody knows the spectral frequency response of this chip, please point me to that info. It's a stack of 146 Saturn frames (see parent Jupiter post quoted below for other stats.)
