Monochrome Jupiter

Hi,

I'm still experimenting with the Imagingsource DMK 21F04
monochrome Firewire camera (I've only had two clear nights without 25mph winds in the last three weeks) and again the
seeing was at best 5/10.
This image is a stack of 1000 frames from one Avi of 4000
frames taken at 30FPS, the extra sensitivity of the camera
allowed me to use a shutter of 1/128 of a second, on the same night with my Toucam Pro I could only use a 1/33 shutter and of course only 10FPS, the image was noticeable
better with the DMK 21FO4 and some of the improvement was due only to the monochrome image.
I'm still waiting for a night of good seeing to see if there is a true improvement using this camera compared to the Toucam Pro 740, as of now I cain't say for sure .

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Wes, looks very promising, you got some very fine detail on this image...


Thank you!

Looks like some very fine detail lurking in there. Have you tried using any filters? I've found that using an IR blocking filter makes some improvement in contrast with monochrome sensors, especially on jupiter. By the way, are you planning to do Lrgb imaging with this camera?
