Jupiter 03/28/05 (new camera)

Hi,

I had hopes for a better first light image with my new Lumenera LU075C color camera but the seeing would not cooperate, the image is very soft but I do think that imaging at 60FPS with the LU075C camera helped me to get something from almost nothing, my 18" scope gives enough light for 60FPS on Jupiter.
I think when the seeing improves this camera can give some very good images.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Hi Wes,

If this image is any indication, we're going to see some outstanding Jupiter images from you this spring. Great detail, color and extremely nice processing on that one.

Clear skies,

Wes,

Wow! If that is soft, I can only imagine what Jupiter will look like in good seeing conditions.

Thanks!!

Hello Wes and WOW for your new picture!

I also tried out my lumenera color last night, but the seeing was really bad and nothing even average came out.

Would you be so kind to tell me which settings you used? which software do you use to acquire movies? I only have an 11" (some light deficiency problem even at 30fps, alas) but my biggest problem is color balance.

Well now you could really do luminance with you firewire camera and chrominance with the lumenera: can't wait till you try!!

Ciao Wes

Holy crap Wes if thats soft, it bodes really well for the new Lum colour!! Whats your sense of the quality of the image when you look at the monitor during capture? Are you using the Norpix sofware for capture?

Wes - I see the beginnings of a beautiful friendship between you and your new camera!

I believe my new DMK21BF04 supports 60fps too - but not sure if there will be enough light with my 10".

A great first result -

Excellent shot Wes!
Looks very promising already! 8)

Hi Wes awesome shot and congrat with the new camera, is there so much difference between the DMK and the LU75? (monochrome and color aside)or is it the higher colordepth. I just acquired a new laptop (hardware is at order now) I just have to decide which camera it will be or.... maybe waiting a little while on the new atik
best regards Jan

Beautiful Wes. Beautiful colors and lots of nice detail!!

That is a very nice image. For those of us contemplating a new camera you have thrown a new choice in the mix.
