An Artist on the Use of Satellites - Techwatch: Satellite TV forums, FTA, Cable, Hardware, & Tech forums

Portrait From Photo · 28-09-06, 09:15 AM

I’m just new in here. I’m not sure however if I’m in the right place but the cozy atmosphere here seems so inviting that I took all the risk and registered though.

I’m an artist from Australia and am very much interested with satellites. I used to think that with the use of this equipment more things can be captured. I just wonder if I can also used it to capture more objects from the sky day in and day out with my digital camera.

More power guys and I wish you all the best.

Glad you like the informal atmosphere here mate and enjoy your stay.

Not quite sure what you're asking with the camera and capture thing, but feel free to ask away.

:welc2: to the board.

If you are asking about imaging the satellites with your camera, then that is most definitely possible:

is always worth a read.

Hi John...

...Or if you mean capturing still images from the broadcast satellite stream then you wouldn't need a camera for that, but a PVR type setup or even a video capture card.

A warm welcome whatever it is you seek!
