*Raw Frame* Fracastorius

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

As I am going through the AVI's I am finding out the seeing was better than I thought, this is a single raw frame (no processing) straight from the AVI and may not be the best frame (I only went through 400 out of 2800, I will stack some frames from this AVI later when I get time.
I just thought showing this raw frame might be interesting and it also demonstrates the low noise level the DMK21FO4 has for just a video camera.
Keep in mind this is not a wide field shot, the crater just did fit on the CCD, the power is a little over 1000x .

Thanks,

Wes Higgins

Shadows in Schiller

Posted By Wesley Higgins
Hi,

This is an unusual Sun rise look at Schiller, the shadows
are almost all the way across the crater, when imaging at F/28 with my 14.5 Reflector all of Schiller will not fit on the CCD of the DMK-21F04 camera.

Image taken on 09/09/04 , 14.5 Starmaster, stack of 92 frames from 4860 (the seeing was below average for my location)

Thanks,
