Lunar images with two new cams

[riklaunim]

Not the best conditions for lunar imaging, but I wanted to do a first tests of two new cameras I got to play with - Tucsen sCMOS camera with low read noise, and Ximea fast xiQ USB3 camera (both are quite cheap for what they offer). I used C11 and red longpass filter at f/10. The sCMOS has smaller pixels so the image scale is much bigger.

Tucsen Discovery M15 sCMOS:

Ximea xiQ USB3 MQ013MG-E2:

It's to early to tell how good those cameras are. The sCMOS doesn't seems to have as much grainy noise as the xiQ with a typical CMOS sensor.

Not bad, not bad at all

Nice images. both cameras seem to perform well

nice images, showing promise. Will they be sensitive enough for a bit of planetary work? I'd like to see what they could make of jupiter...

They are. Jupiter is on the list, but weather isn't cooperating.
