yes.. but what I was asking was can you enlarge it in the future and false color [contrast] it with a grid superimposed? very nice Sir, .. any enhancements like false color.. in the works? @Astronut: Have you made a Foto of Elenin with your Telescope?
Quoting: nedlogYes, I have. [ link to i319.photobucket.com] I found it to be exactly where it should have been according to its orbital elements. It is incredibly faint, which would not be the case if it were a brown dwarf star. The image may not look like much to the untrained eye, but this camera exchanges the noise level for speed when imaging deep space objects. It detects within seconds what takes most astronomical CCDs minutes to record (the trade-off being the noise level of the image) and it does so using infrared as well as visible light. Thanks! Technically this camera always puts out "false" color as it perceives light beyond the visible spectrum (into infrared, probably into UV as well but I'd have to check the CCD specs again for the latter) and beyond what our eyes can see. |
