I worked with very small image sensors for so long , That when I finally got to four thirds , I felt like it was giant. I think people under estimate what small sensors can do. No matter how many pixels you have , Your not going to magnify Jupiter enough to fit on about (often said - 600x600 pixels or less) I have often got Jupiter to cover 1000x1000. So on a 5 mp sensor , Your wasting a lot of pixels and getting the heat n noise from them and increasing the file size w unused pixels etc.. Love the show!

[@thethirdman225]

Hey Dylan, what did you mean by ‘It’s the fault of the doublet I’m using’? Did you mean the 82ED or the field flattener? I’m assuming you mean the telescope. I have the 62ED and this setup is definitely my path forward to making a fool of myself in astrophotography. I have been told I need the flattener no matter what but I have seen some pretty impressive images shot without it. It would be great if you could expand on this. Cheers from Melbourne.

[@tmrdarkstar85]

The only color camera I own is a all sky planetary camera used for planetary and aurora. As enticing as the minicam 8 is the problem i have still remains no m42 adapter same issue with my medium qhy filter wheel and a custom m42 to m48 adapter to make it work is over $100 because the m42 to m48 ring adapter will just thread straight through the m48 spacer on the filter wheel allowing the camera to free spin during slewing.. "Not a chance i am willing to take on a falling camera"

Hi Dylan, If this had of come out a couple of months ago I would have bought one, but ended up with an ASI533MM Pro instead. I actually like the 585 sensor. I've been using a colour one (ASI585MC Pro) with my Red Cat51 for almost a year and have been really happy with the results. I know some people think its a bit small but It suits me fine. Pity about the blue channel but that was still a pretty decent image considering the conditions etc.

[@DylanODonnell]

Yeh it doesn’t compete with my big 16 bit cam at all but for little portable stuff.. neat :)

[@slzckboy]

zwo dropped the ball here. I would of definitely gone this route in the beginning.A great idea.

[@PilotPhteven]

not sure I'd say they dropped the ball.. I mean.. you can get a cheap mono zwo camera, they have filter wheels, they have cheap filters.. pretty much anything you need is available through zwo... granted..in bits.. And you can (and should) wonder how sensible it is to have this all in one package, in a hobby where upgrading parts of a rig is very common. People love moaning towards ZWO for having a locked ecosystem.. so how is this any different. Especially when this one requiring very specific and "custom" size filters that no other company makes. Sure you can brag about cost-reduction because the filters are perfectly matched.. but.. You have no way of upgrading the filters with this custom size, except if they parter up with astrodon, antlia, explore scientific, etc.. but I kinda doubt that they would do that for just the one camera and one specific sensor. sure, ZWO could have perhaps done more with the GT line, the one with filterwheel+camera in one which currently only offers a 183 cooled version.. planetary non-cooled versions might be interesting. But again, there are benefits to keeping bits separate..

[@JML_Astrophotography]

cool idea for using the photometry filter set: exoplanet photometry. You can do it with a small refractor! I've done 2 WASP-33b transits with the skywatcher evostar 72

[@DylanODonnell]

wow that's amazing

[@marclloveras73]

Should refocusing on the blue filter reduce CA? Having an Evostar 72ed + DSLR this camera would be a good improvement.

[@DylanODonnell]

Oh yeh I refocussed for B .. that was as good as it got that night!

[@blairconner8670]

Considering the size of this camera, do you think it would work with something like a RASA?

Not 8 no.. but a bigger rasa like 11 or 14/36 yes. They have bigger obstruction areas.

[@robertcarroll5036]

[@jez4491]

Do you ever have issues with lights from your neighbours mucking up your images? I've got one where their porch light shines into my backyard. It's focused down to the ground so it's not too bright, but curious from more seasoned imagers like yourself if/how you've dealt with it.

[@DylanODonnell]

Yes, it happens. Most have sensors so stop when it's late enough. But if you're doing planetary, lunar, solar or narrowband, it doesn't really matter :) If it gets really bad, I'll stick to one of those.

[@DangeeksC]

Moved to Mono a year or so ago, man, in the UK it's frustrating, lack of clear nights means I have 3 or 4 half finished images, this would have been the ideal stepping stone for me to run alongside colour imaging too while I found my feet with it

[@DylanODonnell]

Yeh I hear you, it took me 3 nights of fucking around in bad weather and ignorance to get 1 usable hour of data for this video hah.

[@KevinRudd-w8s]

Yeah, it can be very frustrating here in the UK, even trying to capture enough data with a OSC Camera, if you are using multiple filters, can take forever. That's why I'm considering getting an SCT with Hyperstar or a fast (f2.8) Newtonian. (Can't afford a RASA)

[@zygmuntziokowski7877]

Dylan, nice results, but how does the software work on a Mac/OS system? The ZWO software and FireCapture runs on a Mac/OS, but processing the image isn't that simple. The output of the ZWO ASI678MC is not supported on a MAC system, so I need to convert it or trying using PixInsight.

[@DylanODonnell]

For planetary? Yeh I use a Mac too but all my favourite planetary software (AS!3, registax, astrosurface, winjupos) I run on a windows PC I built just for that. And maybe Fortnite.

[@fpvmallusk4703]

If it worked it feels like a good pairing with the C14 Hyperstar. The band pass is quite wide and the sensor quite small so wavelength shift may not be too bad. The entire unit is smaller than the C14 secondary mirror obstruction, although a bit off axis. Automated narrow band at f2 with a pretty tight FoV (small sensor). I'd love to know if anyone has tried this.

[@DylanODonnell]

Yep I think this is totally possible actually.

[@anthonyexmouth]

Spat my f'ing coffee out when I saw Rogan. What was the issue with the blue filter? Was it just focus or something else? This is super tempting to do like you and set up a little portable rig next to me pier..

[@DylanODonnell]

Pretty sure it's a symptom of high cloud which messes up my blue channel on the big rig too, but also the doublet I was using which is known for its trashy blue also. They combined to produce the worst blue channel I'd ever seen haha.

[@anthonyexmouth]

@@DylanODonnell shouldn't that "trasiness" be lost when you go to mono and only focusing a single wavelength and not trying to compromise a focus for RGB? I can se this camera being on back order for quite a while at the price point.
