Thanks Kevin. it seems that quite a bit of detail can be extracted from miniscule data - not the best way to use it, but an option if the weather gets in the way.

Greg.

thanks Greg. was looking at the subs and thought - I wonder... better than I thought it would be.

thanks Suavi. maybe not a practical way to use the camera, but at least an indication of what it does.

well, maybe. will need much bigger pixels for your system though.

thanks Colin. this winter has favoured ultra short imaging sessions

Cheers,

thanks Rick. There are quite a few large CMOS sensors around that will outperform this one - none of them are mono though. we can hope.

It would be nice if the lack of noise magically captured more flux

Thanks Peter. no, the fine detail isn't there, but I was surprised to find anything much at all. however, more detected photons would help.

Now do 3600 subs, report back results

don't blame me for your work ethic
a real version is in the pipeline.
