Another good night at Murrumbateman
The problem with buying a larger hard disk for my laptop is that I now have 120Gb of data to offload and process, instead of 90 Gb :-(
At least I got about 3 hours of imaging before this one filled up.
About halfway through the session I went a bit silly and cranked on even more focal length, the last half of the isession was done at a focal length of 14.6m, f/45. Jupiter was 400 pixels across :-) I guess I'll find out later if that was a good idea or not, but it seemed like a fun idea at the time...
Images coming soon.

Mike, I didn't have the forumulas to convert the DMK register settings to actual gain and gamma, so I couldn't really set the cameras up the same.
btw I have that info now, it's available off the TIS website here for those who own DMK21AF04 cameras:
ftp://tis_ftp:Imaging199@ftp.theimag...anual.user.pdf
For some bizarre reason this is not listed in the "resources" or "downloads" areas on their site...

Here's one of the f/45 images, not sure I'll keep trying this extreme setting, but it came out ok.

That's another excellent image Anthony, and f/45 is just unheard of!

yeah, probably for a good reason... and when the sun came up I discovered that we were covered in smoke haze, might explain why things were a lot dimmer that I thought should be...

There is a big burn off going on down near the border with NPWS, been affecting us on the coast for the last two weeks or so, been really bad here.
Cheers
