You won't ACTUALLY be getting 60FPS but according to all your programs it'll be 60FPS  (Don't ask)  Always use the histogram in IC capture Peter  I'd doubt very much if you'd get a full histogram with your 8" running a 3X barlow without a low frame rate like 15..
Any Q's, fire away!  |
Thanks for the help John. I've only had my DBK camera for about a month and I bought my first telescope 3 months ago. Still what I lack in experience I try to make up for in persistence!
I forgot to ask whether you're using a 3x barlow and also what focal ratio you're imaging at. Apparently it's possible to image above F/30 with a 3x barlow if one secures the barlow at varying points along the cylindrical adapter that attaches to the DBK camera.
Have you posted an example of a Jupiter image where you use the Y800 codec? You mentioned not getting 60fps; how many frames per second can one expect to get?
I just discovered the live histogram in IC Capture; am I correct in thinking that the objective is to fill up the histogram as much as possible between 0 and 255? Is the level on the Y axis of the histogram important or am I just trying to have as much coverage along the X axis as possible?
Thanks again John I really appreciate you taking the time to help me.
