Hello Wes,


Very nice picture. Your picture shows some rilles that I have not seen before.

That is one awesome image. If that is a work in progress I'd like to see the final version.

Imagingsource firewire cameras

Posted By Kirk Vanden

Hello Dennis,


Here is a raw frame of Saturn taken with a DMK 21F04 camera. It is at f/20 with a 12 inch LX200GPS. I only briefly experimented with this camera one night on Saturn, and I didn't really try to optimize the settings. It was late and this was just a quick shot before going to bed.

The DMK monochrome cameras are awesome on the moon. Significantly lower noise than the ToUcam. I have been meaning to give my camera a fair try on Saturn but just not have had time yet to optimize the camera settings for Saturn. The weather has not been all that great where I live for the last month.

Saturn in B&W--weird lines?

Posted By Kirk Vanden

Hello Mike,


I have seen similar lines in my ToUcam and ATIK when the gain is set too high. At one time I had found a WWW page that discussed this in detail, but I can't recall where now.

Great image. The rilles in the upper right of the photo are really fascinating.
