Just thought I would pick the brains of
the people who have gone from DSLR to
OSC CCD's. The reason I want to talk about OSC is the fact that my skytime is limited and I want to get every last coloured pixel from the frequently cloudy skies down here in the shadow of Mount Wellington. I would like to know about those who have made the transition, the pitfalls and the "If I had my money again I would" type scenarios.
Just to make it clear as well I am not familiar with Photoshop, though I might be in the future.
I have Star Tools, DSS, and Maxim DL though the latter I am still getting my head around.
The camera would be used on refractors mainly, with the odd sojourn on a Newt 8".
Any advice about MP size, debayering, calibration frames etc as I have looked around and seen a lot of
expensive cameras!
I currently have a self modded 450D and a 1000D.
I also own a 314L+ Atik which I am saving for the time when I can do more Ha.
Another question-Anyone recommend a good starter text for PShop?
Am working on getting that sometime this year as well and although I have seen a lot of tute's on line, I am an old fashioned kinda guy who likes to thumb through real books!
Cheers
Graham
