maxspeed Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Hi all,could somebody give me a run down of the best cameras aroundtoday for solar imaging. I need one that will produce high resolutionmonochrome images,be easy to handle,and image as much of the disk as possible. I guess it should be compared to the DMK21 and 41 cameras.

Merlin66 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I don't know about the "best" but you'd have to go a long way to beat the performance of the DMK41. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photosbykev Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 The PST at 400mm FL and the DMK41 are well matched giving a nice full disk without too many unused pixels. Add a 2.5x Powermate and there is plenty of detail to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB80 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Out of curiosity is the DMK41 the only one in the range that will allow you to get a full disk with the PST? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 My Lunt60 and dmk41, good enough to get astronomy now photo of the month. The dmk41 grabs a large chunk of the action, you can always use Microsoft ice to stitch if you need to depends on the focal length of the scope you plan to use. Registax6 is the only other thing you need. I'll post my latest white light and halpha shots when I can get back to the desktop again.CheersPEterW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photosbykev Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Out of curiosity is the DMK41 the only one in the range that will allow you to get a full disk with the PST?I'm pretty sure the DMK31 clips the disk and the 21 certainly does.

JB80 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 That's what I suspected but wasn't sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Microsoft ice magically stitches frames together, I get 80% of the disk with my scope, so do 2 frames and then bingo I end up with a nice image. You don't need a dmk41 if you don't want to spend the money or find a dmk31 first.Peterw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
