[Re: CosmoJoe]       #5555342 - 12/05/12 09:30 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   It would be OK for Lunar, planetary and solar,not so good if you want to do deep sky imaging. These types of cameras are designed to take rapid exposures, and a lot of them to capture brief moments of good seeing and steady atmosphere on smaller objects. Their small chip size and lack of cooling make them less than great for long exposures on extended DSO's.

Good deep-sky can be done if it will do long exposures. so make sure if its capable. for examples of images see: http://members.shaw.ca/maupperl/AstroImages/AstroIndex.html HTH Ron Post Extras:       CosmoJoe member Reged: 10/03/12 Loc: Gilbert, Arizona Re: Is Imaging Source DFK 31BU03.H suitable for AP?
