Saturn Aug1 with TIS618
Just tried out my new TIS DMK618 camera on Saturn. Seeing was poor, so image is RRGB with no storm detail showing and R6 rejected most of the frames, so the noise is up a bit. R and G were taken at 60hz, and show no sign of the ringing artefact that spoils the 098 based DMK cameras at this framerate. That was the main reason for doing the imaging - looks like the new camera works really well and the extra quantum efficiency of the 618 chip is really useful. Regards Ray.
Correction, just had problems recording Jupiter at 60Hz, so had another look at this data - although it is reported to be 60Hz, there aren't enough frames in some of the avi's and it looks like this was actually 30Hz. will post again, when I get some sleep/work out what is going on. Verdict is still out at 60hz..
