Sensor Analysis and Smart Histogram using Neximage 10

[Buckrogers]

Hey guys,

I'm looking at trying out these, not sure if this will work or I may just try it out and see. I know this camera is not suitable for DSO, but perhaps this could aid me in capturing planet images?

Hi,

I have had reports of success in running the analysis on this sensor - in 12 bit mode the read noise drops from about 8.3 at minimum gain down to 3.1 at 383 gain (which is only about 20 times brighter than minimum). For some reason, in 8 bit mode the read noise seems a bit lower, which is unusual. I think based on that I would suggest staying in 8 bit at a fairly high gain for planetary (which is pretty much standard for planetary with any camera).

cheers,

Robin

Hi Robin,

That's awesome. I will give it a go.
Thanks
