DMK 41AF02 1280x960 camera first "light"

Hi all,

We just received the new DMK 41AF02 firewire camera. Boy what a field of view!
Here is a first "light" shot with it (stack of 100 frames at 15fps made in prime focus of TMB 80/480 thru an open window). Hopefully next week will be good weather in France, as Philippe Vercoutter and myself will be on holiday from tomorrow there with his 140mm Coronado filter wink

By the way, received a message from DMK that the smaller camera will soon get to 60fps and up to 60 minute exposure time (the latter being less interesting for solar system observing, but ok, nice to have).

Best regards

Dodi
