Hi Ed,

That is a very good image, sometimes waiting for the one good AVI
during a night of bad seeing can pay off as it did in this image.

Hi Dodi,

Excellent! image, when you sample at 30FPS uncompressed (three to six times the usual rate) it can make a difference, it has been my experience that the best improvements from high frame rates come when the seeing is average to very good, when the seeing is below about 4/10 it seems to make no noticeable difference IMO .
The DMK cameras are industrial machine vision cameras with better electronics and thus less noise than the Toucam ,this new model has an improved chip set and should be even better.

Clear And Steady Skies,

Aristarchus...sort-of

Hi Mike,

Even with bad seeing that is still an impressive image, the rille in the Cobra Head is easily seen, when you get good enough seeing for the 30" you will get some awesome images alright, just don't pass out before you get the images taken grin .

Clear And Steady Skies,
