1st light DMK

[prokyon]

Hi folks,

yesterdy I tested my new DMK 21AU618.AS. Conditions were bad, but I wanted to test it yet.

100 x 1/3s for every channel, Orion UK Newton 10" f/6, processed with Registax and PixInsight.

and only the red channel to demonstrate the solution even though the bad seeing.

AB : mag : 6,55 / 7,49 mag; Distance : 8,8"

AC : mag : 6,55 / 5,06 mag; Distance : 12,8"

AD : mag : 6,55 / 6,38 mag; Distance : 21,2"

AE : mag : 6,55 / 11,1 mag; Distance : 4,9"

CF : mag : 5,10 / 11,5 mag; Distance : 4,0"

I bought it for moon and planets. But I think it will be possible to do some PNs too.

Quite remarkable! That is what you call resolution.

Did you use the red as a luminance layer?

Oops, REsolution

No luminance layer, pure RGB.

Super Werner,

Thats the best Core and Trap I've seen I think. I use that camera for the planets, nice to see it getting a run out at the Deep space stuff.

I don't understand the bit you say about only the red used for resolution. Can you say a bit more about that?

Tom.

Hi Tom,

the red channel is a little bit more resistant against seeing. So you can see the resolution better than in G or B.

I think if you look carefully you can also see down to I.. at mag 15.

Stupendous image I agree with Olly - that is resolution!

With 100+ frames, you can perform image resolution enhancement using lots of lower resolution images to create a high resolution image. It seems that planet cams are getting good down to mag 10-15! The low exposure time means less seeing issues - how much noise are you getting?

It would be fun to try to Registar this onto a good widefield of M42...
