Starlight Xpress SXV-M25 test results daytime

Posted By Dominique Dierick
Awaiting clear skies (hopefully next week when we go to Southern France), I made some test shots in daylight with the prototype camera from Starlight Xpress and a Nikkor 180mm ED connected to the camera via a filterdrawer from Gerd Neumann.

The SXV-M25 is a 6 megapixel single shot color cooled CCD.

Here is a full resolution 1x1 binning image (beware of size!):

Putting the camera in 2x2 binning switches it to monochrome mode at a 1500x1000 resolution. I made the following image with 2" Astronomik Type II filters:

RGB: 1.0/0.6/1.2

A noise test showed that the SXV-M25 continues in the tradition of Starlight camera's with virtually no noise present on the test (darkframe) images.

This image was made today out of 22 AVI movies with a Coronado 60 attached to an AP Traveler with 2x Barcon.

The image is too big to post it here. This is the link: http://users.pandora.be/vcsb/dodi/sun280504bws.jpg

Many more to go sad

These special events are nice, but they always give lots of work after the event wink

Venus odd shape during transit

Posted By Dominique Dierick
Do you think this effect could be real, or caused by mediocre seeing?

My new website online

Posted By Dominique Dierick
Hi,

I have updated my website with a new look. Some new images as well, and all images in higher resolution. It's only half of it, the regularly photography images will have to wait a bit longer (scanning negatives takes time).

There are images with many different scopes and cameras.

It's located here:

Hope you may enjoy it.
