C100: A little astronomy with the c100, iso20k

[scout72]

Just messing around- it is a very full moon tonight, so not the best of conditions, but that smudge is m31, Andromeda galaxy: 200mm f.28L, 1/3sec slow shutter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKH3v-9seoU

Cool, you even managed to get M32 too

looks like a dusty sensor to me . LOL

just kidding

That's really cool, being able to capture that much light in a video.

did you try grading it a bit to drop much of that noise to black and get those dots to pop out a bit more?

 

[groveChuck]

Very cool! How light or dark was it where you shot?

I'll never forget the first time seeing Andromeda through a university telescope as a kid, actually seeing the spiral arms...

Something like this might help? (though I still can't figure out why my stills are never the size I make them?!? 720 in this case...)

I have not tried grading, this was just a quick test to see what iso 20k looked like- I have a better scope setup (f2.5 with focal reducer= 900mm to 450mm fl) and will try capturing with Ninja2 and do some grading/cleanup- will be interesting to see orion nebula in real time...but don't have much time for this stuff!

re: how dark was it - I live about 17 miles from San Francisco, bright moon in the sky night I shot this- so it will definitely be better on moonless night and from darker site.
