Experience with Canon PowerShot G3?
I recently bought a Canon PowerShot G3 4 megapixel camera. Max exposure
15 seconds, max aperture f/2. I'm not yet familiar with exposure stacking and image enhancement but would like to get deeper into it. All I have right now is Paint Shop Pro, which doesn't have Fourier filtering, MER, image math, etc. I have a 16" f/6 Newtonian to take the shots. The camera does great with eyepiece projection on the Moon, Mars, and Saturn. I have reached about 6th magnitude at 15 seconds and f/2. A few questions, though: Anybody out there have any experience or website shots using this camera for deep-sky astrophotography? Will I have too much readout noise (as previously mentioned by Chris Peterson)? What are some good software packages for post-processing CCD images? Thanks, Mike |
