Mirror flop? Rolando

Hi AP and Astronuts, I continue my search for objects with my C11HD and my QHY294c and to improve the tracking, readjust the polar alignment and redo the modeling (91 successful / 92). On a series of

These new backlit sensors are amazing! Of course I would want the 64MP version and couldn’t settle for the 2MP version. Nice to see these advances being made, I just need to save a few more coins to

This is the same camera that I'm adapting for my all-sky camera. If you're curious about its NIR response, talk to Christopher Go, who has been posting some really good methane stacks of Jupiter

New planetary cam

I had a couple of clear nights that allowed me to obtain OIII and SII data to compose a color image of the Veil. data is 3 hours each of H-a, OIII and SII data.

never heard of that number. Rolando

Here's a good summary from FrameOS: https://www.framos.com/en/news/what-is-sony-s-exmor-technology-anyway /dale

Yeah, he was talking about the new QHY5III462C. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dNADreK9_0&feature=youtu.be&t=2753 At about 25.45 on the video. The entire video is interesting and he does go

Ahhh, I will have to watch that Michael Barber video again where he describes the evolution of the CMOS designs. I must have got some generations mixed up. -- Dean

FWIW, the IMX533/571/455 series are evolutions within the Exmor R (fifth generation) family. Sixth generation refers to sensor designs within the Exmor RS family, the "S" denoting stacked silicon

I certainly will! /dale

Excellent. These 6th gen. back illuminated Sony chips are impressive. QHY and presumably ZWO will be releasing a camera with a mono IMX571 in a few months. -- Dean

I’ve been able to use APPM with my QHY268C, SGP and ASTAP as solver. I do bin 2x2

This is just to update this thread... The ASI2600MC color camera came in. I am doing a point mapping run in APPM. The camera is connected to Sequence Generator Pro and is using the on-board version

Very True, but manageable: I operated my remote observatory for 10 years and had a CW. I had two models , one for winter and one for summer. It is good with heavy clouds, it is tricky with low

I find the CloudWatcher to NOT be reliable (at least for cloud detection). The problem is you have to setup various temperatures that imply when clouds are present - and those values change throughout
