Regarding the fringing I've been experiencing at 60fps, I'm not the only one to find this a problem -and I keep my gamma at 100 and the histogram properly exposed. I get almost no fringing at 30 fps. Here's a link where someone else is discussing the issue with a support engineer at the Imaging Source forums: http://www.theimagingsourceforums.co...d.php?t=322135. Note the comment at the end of the thread from the engineer (" I think these ghost images are a side effect of this high frame rate. I do not think, it can be avoided, since we do not know, how these ghost images are created in the CCD.")

Thanks for the link Jonathan.
The only time I have experienced this onion fringing was due to having the gamma setting to high.
I have never felt the need to capture at more that 30 fps, I have a 16" f4.5 Newt so have absolutely no problem filling my histogram and recording enough frames in a short enough period
Some of the best planetary images ever recorded have been achieved on the DMK 21.
Cheers
