First light - Moon & DMK

Hello,

Last night/this morning it finally all came together. New DMK21AF04 Firewire camera, IEEE1394 PC Adapter Card, 300G external USB2 drive, some gaps between sets of clouds, good seeing and the opportunity to throw an all nighter.

Much of the evening/morning was spent idling whilst sets of clouds passed through but it was worth the wait. Here is an image of Theophilus and Cyrillus. The most obvious differences between my DMK and ToUcam, were very low noise and a screaming frame rate with no compression.

Cheers

Dennis
