Does anyone have any actual sensor analysis data on this new camera that they'd be willing to share here?

I would be very interested to see it, as there is currently nothing on Altair's website to judge from.

Nice!

Thanks, I suppose the quick take home message is this graph, which shows how each LP filter affects the %RGB signal intensities for my OSC camera. 0% difference in all three RGB signal intensities would achieve a "theoretically unison" white balance. It shows how green is still the most in...

I used it for a trial period, but never bought it. Instead, I use Astap, which has a similar built-in feature to ccdinspector. It's not as fully featured, but it's free.

On top of what Robin said, whenever I have this issue, I find I need to revisit the black point threshold value inside FWHM measurement to figure out what that value should be with a star. If it's too low or high, I don't get the right FWHM reading and sometimes it doesn't even detect any stars. Onc...

Thanks Nick, I have the brightness filter on all the time, really helps with passing clouds..

Hi Robin, The reduce exposure whilst dithering in live stack mode is a wonderful feature. However, when the save individual frames box is checked, I often find a few stray 1.0s exposures in the rawframes folder. Not a major bug, I just delete them, but I thought I should mention it. The first time I...

Haha thanks!

Email FLO and ask them when they'll be restocking, great reviews
