Jupiter 9 July

Well finally got to test the new Skynyx lastnight. The first thing that springs to mind is that the image scale is greatly reduced. I would have to use an extension with the 3x barlow and filter wheel to get a larger image or try to resample.

The other thing that is immediately noticable is that this camera has a significant reduction in grain. Even imaging in 8 bit produces significant gains in image quality. Very impressed in the camera. Software is fantastic with total automation of the each run. Very similar to what Anthony has produced in Linux.

Now to try it in better seeing and under much better jet stream conditions.
