Posted: Wed Feb 24, 2021 8:42 pm
Captured 22nd Feb 2020. A 2 hour allegedly clear slot hampered by intermittent faint high cloud. An opportunity to stress test SharpCap 3.3 beta. During the 2h session, I captured ~140Gb of lunar data using a Skywatcher 127 MAK and 3 cameras - Skyris 618m CCD, Altair 183M CMOS and $10 Sweex webcam (modified for astro use). No frames were dropped during the session!
SER files were stacked with Autostakkert!3. Post processed with GIMP 2.12 - adjust gamma, sharpen (unsharp mask), contrast.
Skyris 618m, MONO16, 640x480, 7200 frames @120fps, SER, exposure 4ms, gain 323/1000, IR685 filter
Altair 183M, MONO8, 1920x1200, 2000 frames @35fps, SER, exposure 7ms, gain 800/4999, IR685 filter
Sweex webcam, YUY2, 640x480, 2400 frames @40fps, SER, exposure 30ms, IR Cut filter
