Hi all,

I recently tried to order a DMK 21BF04 camera from The Imaging Source. I was told they have stopped shipping them because of problems with the capacitors. Is anyone aware of what this problem is? I'm also going to check if the DMK 21F04 is in stock, would this camera be a viable alternative for me or should I wait to see if the problem with the 21BF04's can be rectified?

Thanks,
Ed Roach

Hello Ed,

Get the DMK21AF04. DO NOT GET THE 21F04 because it has the TI chipset bug.

Regards,

Chris

Hi Ed,

IIRC the longest exposure/intergration time of the 21F04 is a true 1/30s. In most cases this is not enough for scopes below 12" aperture for planetray imaging, maybe just ok for lunar works.

HTH & clear skies,
Oliver
