2010/05/22 18:34 UTC 254mm F/4.5 Newtonian DMK21AU04 with ICX618ALA modification Astronomik RGB and >742nm IR-pass filter Powermate 5x Comments: Interestingly, the contrast in green and red is not all that different from the IR recordings. Again I'd like to stress out the importance of capturing with noise when using an 8-bit camera. You NEED the noise to end up with a stack that has more than 8-bit in data. The sweet spot for my modified DMK21 seems to be at a gain of about 700. If I had recorded at a low gain, all these details would be lost.
