Hi guys!
I had a problem with processing this image: I took 2 mins of AVI & processed. (6" achro) @ 15 frames per second. The result was totally CR....ummy! deleted it (3 hrs down the drain).
Went back out, took 63 still shots each at 2 secs. My cameras default mode is jpg = grain: batched to BMP & resized to 400x300 in bink & smacker.......bink & smacker then ran out of memory at shot 38 doing the conversion. ( I have since learnt irfanview does a far better job at this)
So the end result is 38 stacked shots @ 2 secs apiece = 76 seconds exposure time.
I need a couple of hundred of 2 second images stacked to get a 'better' result. I can take 1 frame every 12 seconds. (not including the 2 secs to take the frame) Do the math lol.
I also took a darkframe, now I just have to fiqure out how to use it!
Kodak easyshare in AVI mode for DSOs = not possible. Good for planets, open bright clusters & bright globs. Max still exposure time is 4 secs = too much noise. Thats why I dropped backed to 2 secs. It's just a matter of working out the limits of ones gear, & working out how to get the best outa the gear your using..Experimentation & analysis is the mother of kodak owners!!
Interesting stuff.
( I have 200 kodak easyshare's on sale if anyones interested!
