blinky Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Just got my DMK 21 from Karlo today and I am wondering if anybody has any tips? How do I set the exposure?, do you use the noise reduction feature? How do I do a long exposure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazOC Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Plug it in and start up the software. Its pretty easy and intuitive to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlin66 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 A great camera!!I assume you are using IS capture V2.1?The exposure time can be set to any duration you wish; don't get mixed up with frame rate... when the exposure is above, I think 1sec, the video still plays back at the nominated frame rate....Don't know about noise reduction??Play with the gain.....I'll have a DMK21 ( and I think Nick's bring one also) at the Imaging day on Sunday...Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riklaunim Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Gain: max (except moon)Exposure time: lowest possible where the object is still visible but nothing is snow-whiteFPS mode: 30fpsFrames to capture: 1000-1500 should be ok. (planetary, lunary)Denoise (frame accumulation): offFor imaging deep space you can use 1-5 sec exposures easily at max gain, but you need few hundred of frames to overcome gain noise in stacking (it's easier to make a lot of very short exposures, than few long-time).

NickH Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Cracking camera...am bringing one to the Imaging day, as well as some Lumeneras to compare... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin66 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I use the DMK21 for Ha solar imaging..Brightness - 179Gain - 285exposures from 1/15 to 1/120 for proms and surface.ED80 at f20Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Bat Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Great camera - settings are pretty much trial and error to taste, I usually use mine a DFK version to provide AVI files, but have used it to capture individual images..Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
