Field Rotation

[Nessy]

Before I manage to source a wedge etc. has anyone tried using the Field Rotation setting in K3CCD Tools?

My thinking is I could either capture:

Multiple 30sec - 60 sec pics from the DSLR or

10 mins or so from CCD

Then put through this process?

Anyone had much luck or any sample outputs?

Thanks,

There are two things to consider, 1) field rotation of individual frames and 2) stacking these individual frames. For the DSLR I think you can only take subs of no more than several seconds each. This is due to rotation of the sub on itself i.e. it blurs the image.

Secondly, if each sub is short enough so that it doesn't blur, then you can use stacking software that will handle field rotation between subs.

Software such as Maxim and ImagesPlus and I think there's a free one somewhere. Don't know if K3CCD will do this.
