I think I used 30 fps and the histogram is something I thought was only used when three RGB filters were used to make a coloured picture. I do try to level out the picture contrast with LEVELS - do you mean levels or histogram that you refer to in your Planetary article? I'd like to know how I could adjust the over bright parts. I discovered this problem with the daylight test runs and wondered how I could over come the difference in contrast. The trunks of the white Melaleuca trees where washed out trying to get the rest of the picture detail. Also I'd like your comments Mr Iceman regarding two filters. Some time ago in my ignorance I purchased a cheap green filter that was advertised as a MOON filter and realising green moon pictures were not aceptable discarded it. I owned a 50 mm U/V filter and cut it down and ground it to fit the 1 1/4 inch holder that accommodated the green filter. While testing the DMK in daylight under poor atmospherics I managed to get two or three clear sharper pictures when using either the green or the U/V filter. Is there an explanation for this? And what I couldn't understand was the green filter didn't make the pictures green. This left me wondering if when you make three RGB pictures do they appear in colour?
Now I've discovered GO Advance I'm attaching one more pic taken at the same session. Owing to the short period of clear sky, I started recording before it was totally dark and the first few recordings weren't stong in contrast. The attached being one of the earlier.
