[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 753096, member: 325666"] Hi friends .. The sun is finally shining ..so took the opportunity to begin the Dish Eye Project .. Took me a couple of hours to remove the dish centre plate ...a new plate will be made which carries the camera better.. But for now ..a quick lash up ... Better cabling required and a removeable sun cover for days like today ..to prevent ccd burn .. I chose to locate it where I did because this area of the dish is in shadow from the lnb ..so isn't going to affect the gain .. ...also considering trying the dish in cassagrain mode at a later date ..assuming I can find or make a suitable sub reflector ...but for now its the camera eye .. I figure ..useful for 1 dish security.. 2 LNB postioning and alignment 3 Obstacle locator ..trees etc The camera is a 2nd hand self leveling camera ..but appears to require some adjustment as it tilts a little .. Anyhow .. Here are some quick caps taked from my home security system ..to which the camera has been patched in .. rgds VS ...more mad than scientist I think.. :D [/QUOTE]
