Alan,
Have you thought about putting up a website? You have so many great
images, you really should. And then I could link to it :)
I went out and shot Mars again last night. Another night of dismal
seeing.
What I want to mention (and ask), is my colors were a bit closer to
normal this time, but not great. This time I took the image (fresh
from Astro IIDC) and put them in their perspective chanels without
doing anything else to them. Then I adjusted levels (in each chanel
individually) and got my final result which is still less than what
I had hoped.
Has anybody here tried the color version of this camera? I know the
loss in resolution is an issue due to the color bayer filter. I
don't think I'm really worried about the sensitivity loss because
that is probably close to the loss experienced with the color filter
wheel any way.
Milton, you said something about the chip being the same as the
unibrain but for the fact that the rest of the circitry was better.
Is it really worth the extra $300 and some odd bucks then?
I would stick with this camera except that I'm just not getting the
color filter wheel and chanels right and it's frustrating me. It
just isn't making sense. I know color theory backwards and forwards
and I know Photoshop very well. It seems like I'm doing what it
takes but the results are just not realistic.
I hope to try again tonight and see if I can figure this out. Any
help is appreciated.
Duane

PS. I lay claim to coining the frase, "Friedman-esk" for a
spectacular planetary image, or
"unFriedman" for when they come out like the other 90% of my
images.
Alan, can I copy right your name? :)
Certainly - and I appreciate the generous thought -
but I think "Peach"y would probably be a better term!!
