Ricky Spanish Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Going to track it with Atari planetarium on my 1200XL . Probably will video it going across the screen too. Gotta make sure there's no glare on the screen. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfollowell Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Not quite the same, but you could always run it on an emulator and record the video, just to insure there's no glare in your recording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rybags Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 USB analog capture devices can be gotten for a few bucks on eBay, so you could record the real deal at reasonble quality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll cover the monitor, or just close the drapes haha. I also want it on real hardware for the sole fact one is tracking a rare celestial event on a 40 year old computer, with a 40 year old program, in 2024. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Darken99 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Great idea! I ran Atari Planetarium while following the local museum planetarium feed - a great show even if it was mostly cloudy here... But clear on the screen! Sorry I didn't have time to bring my 130XE up from downstairs, but working from home so in and out throughout the day. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I know it's a little late, but that's what Rybags was talking about, I think. I know for the Atari BBS Community Zoom chats I use a video capture with the Sophia on the 1200xl and Falcon that I use for demos and it works great. Also just picked up a composite video one for using the machines that don't have Sophias. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
