Mars 11.04 @30fps

Hello,

While imaging last night with my new cam, I was testing the image quality of different frame rates. The image I posted earlier was done using 15fps. This image was done with the cam runnig at 30fps uncompressed! I was over 1,600+frames/channel for a 1 minute run for each channel!!

Is this better than the 15fps?

Regards,

Chris

Hi Chris -

Congratulations on your new camera - the results look great.

I think with mars at its current brightness 30fps is probably best with your 11". I use both 15 and 30 with my DMK camera, depending on the subject brightness and the seeing conditions and have gotten decent results either way. You need more good frames to stack at 30fps than at 15fps. Saturn will be a more interesting test because it is much dimmer. When your seeing conditions are very stable you might find that 15 fps is the optimum setting.

best,
Alan

Very nice Chris.
