Folks,
I've been doing some reading about Raspberry Pi as I'm interested in getting one to drive my mount.
Something else caught my eye though while browsing a vendor site. Last year they released a 8MP camera for the RPi with the Sony IMX219 sensor with 1.12 micron pixels and it's reasonably priced - around $40 (plus the price of the RPi of course).
Anyone got any thoughts as to why this wouldn't work as a relatively inexpensive planetary camera? I haven't found any of the more telling specs on the sensor yet (like sensitivity or such), but I reckon it'd be well suited to a f/6 scope or thereabouts
shove it on a 1.25" barrel and you're away.
Just a thought...
Cheers,
Dunk
