The DMK41 has arrived after 2 months waiting (it was out of stock).
I only managed to use it once, 3 days ago, most as a test than for a serious imaging session, and here is the result of my first attempt on the Moon in low resolution (Tycho is in the bottom right hand corner).
The image was captured just ahead of some bad weather. The seeing was very bad (possibly the worst I have experienced so far), but I had to have a go.
The Moon was coming in an out of cloud before dusk, between the branches of a large tree. Not ideal.
The scope wasn't aligned (it was still daylight) and I used the manual tracking. The AVI was only 100 frames. The DMK was used through ShapCap as I didn't have time to upload IC Capture which came with the camera.
The AVI was processed in Registrax 6.
I must say, I am a bit disappointed with the resulting picture (don't tell 2stroke!). I find it grainy, flat and lacking definition, especially compared with those taken with my old Microsoft VX3000 webcam. I will have to wait for better seeing conditions to try it properly. I like the subtle tomes though which I didn't quite get with the webcam.
I also noticed that I had dark spots on the AVI. It seems that it's dust particles on the chip cover. Can it be cleaned with a cotton bud (I don't have any air blower)?
Let me know what you think and how I could improve future AVIs.
Cheers,
Eric
1 more thing is to check out your codec and that your using a lossless, this will give you the best image possible. If your using a compression codec then you will pull higher fps but the images are like jpeg vs raw/tiff. If the seeing is bad by that i mean air turbulence drop back the res and crack the FPS up, it will give you a chance to get some clear shoots in the avi though more gain maybe needed.
