I had trouble reconciling that the CCD had an almost perfect linear response in all 4 channels RGBG across the full dynamic range to saturation, but then they say that the antiblooming is built into the chip. So maybe the antiblooming is really antisaturation rather than a bleed off as saturation is approached ?

Does the Canon include CCD temperature into the metadata of each sub ?
Thats a great option for having darks in a DSLR
H - do you know ?
did you mean dslr or ccd for perfect linear response? I thought I read the ccd was good for a range then wasn't so linear.

the temp is recorded -Backyard EOS records the temp in the file name
eg here is a sub of mine

btw I have no photometry experience but eventually want to get into exoplanet detection.


also I would like to know what they mean by adding the channels together. I assume they stack each channel separate perhaps after using 'superpixel' type setting (as in DSS) for each channel.
