Trying the camera out terrestrially (it’s already overcast), I’m not overly thrilled. Sans any filter, it’s so noisy it’s useless, excepting for a fabric effect. With a polarizer it’s less-so, but even DPP isn’t let me edit properly (the image goes black unless I’m on full-res. And then, I see every pixel, surrounded by black, almost like a led jumbo screen, but square and up close. The lines across the sensor are aweful.).
So, as a ‘land’ based camera goes, it’s a bust. I’ll have to wait at least a week, and probably two, before I have a chance to try it out in dark skies. But I’m not at all impressed–perhaps this is why folks go full-on IR instead of the wide spectrum.
