Hi,

Judging from the avi I thought this image would have been a little better but for the first night out with the new Lumenera Infinity 1.4mp camera I'm satisfied with it.
The Infinity 2-1 has a max image size of 1392x1040 this image is about 800x600, this image is only 8bit although the camera can do 12bit but I am having some trouble getting 12bit output but I feel confident I can get that worked out.

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Hi Wes,
I have an infinity ordered with Paolo. I am very impressed with this image. The detail is just superb. I can only hope to get something (given the aperture I use) that can compare. Congratulations Wes. Gorgeous image!!

Hi Wes,

A very detailed image! I bet when you get the wrinkles ironed out, we're all in for a treat!

Clear skies,

Hi Wes -

The image looks great - I look forward to seeing the moon as it has never been shown before once you and your new camera get to know each other better!

Hello Wes,


Awesome picture. How is the sensitivity of this camera as compared to the DMK 21F04? Do you need a large scope to use it?

Hi Wes,

Lovely shot. I am right in thinking from the comments in this thread, that you cant run the new infinity camera at say 30 or 60fps at full frame size/max quality?.

Best Wishes
