You really see very little over saturated stars (white stars) mainly a result of the 100K e well depth/pixel, along with the the high QE along a broader spectral line. One of the things that I notice is the ones using these high end CCD chips have images with much better star color then all the rest. I have friends that are using high end cameras with the 16803 chips and yet another group of friends that are using the ZWO ASI line of cameras (1600M and the likes).
#Ccd detector chip side length imaging mod#
I currently am imaging with a STF-8300 and a mod Canon 6D. I'll be very interested to hear from others on your post too.
These are not cheap cameras but I can dream.Įdited by MikiSJ, 24 January 2020 - 11:32 PM.
A really great comparison would be to compare a KAF 16803 4k x 4k, 9mm pixel (as in the SBIG STX 16803) with the GPixel GSense4040 4k x 4k with a 9mm pixel size (as in the FLI KL4040). To help me understand the recent (meaning the last 5 or 6 years) affinity for using CMOS has anyone here, or elsewhere done a side by side comparison of comparably sized CCD sensor versus a CMOS sensor. Yes, I went out and bought a NIKON D5300 based upon the comments by nearly everyone who commented on the D5300 and YES, I know the camera has CMOS chip, from Sony. CMOS did and now, a decade later I am left with a very bad taste in my mouth regarding CMOS. Neither the QSI or the SBIG ever created any type of image capture problem. I then bought SBIG ST-402 and off to the races I went. I sent the camera back and they were very gracious in accepting the return. It was so noisy I could not make out a star from a white blob on the screen - no matter the gain setting. In 2008, I tried a CMOS guiding camera from Fishcamp. Kodak will be closing its CCD plant mid year and ON Semi will stop production in a couple of months. But - by the time I can save up the money for a $12,000+ camera there may not be any CCD cameras on the market. So, we are now in the twenties and I am back to the sport, hobbled a bit ( a lot) with a smaller wallet but still with dreams of capturing something no else has (think the 'Soap Bubble') and my list started to include a KAF 16803 CCD camera with it monstrous 64 Megapixel sensor. I sold most of my rig in the late oughts and moved away from this sport. In the oughts I had a really nice CCD camera from QSI with a KAF-3200ME sensor - it performed beautifully with a set of Astrodon filters even from my Bortle 7+ site.
