All: I've posted a new photo, taken of NGC 7331 using a Pt Grey Research "Flea" color firewire camera through a Mogg 0.6x focal reducer on a C-8. the C-8 was...
Tim, Nice shot with lots of 'faint fuzzies' in the FOV. That Pt Grey camera can go pretty deep on those 5min exposures. Keep the picts coming and next time...
Things have been a little quiet on the list for the last few months but that is about to change. We've been working hard on bringing the production version of...
A while back we started a redesign of the camera's enclosure to make it much smaller and lighter. This was the direct result of some feedback we got from some...
It's been no secret that fishcamp engineering has planned to leverage CMOS image sensors for the astro-camera market. There are challenges to overcome but the...
... leverage ... challenges ... image ... being ... feature ... Hi Bob, Speaking of cost, let us know a ball park figure of the new camera and also the app....
I just wanted to wish everyone a very happy and prosperous New Year. We were striving to have an updated web site and product availability announcement before...
I wanted to make an announcement to this group that, after many long hours on the development of the Starfish camera, we are ready to release the camera to...
... Wayne, The Starfish uses a monochrome sensor. We did some experiments with the 3.2Mpixel color sensor that you see references to on our web site but the...
Bob, do you have any specifics about the size of sensor and if they are CMOS or CCD and prices? Also, when do you plan on having some for sale? thanks, Wayne...
... Wayne, We don't have anything to announce right now. This is what I can tell you: 1) All of the sensors we are working on right now are larger than the ...
Bob, thank you for the reply. I am interested in getting a high quality camera. I agree that the CMOS is eventually going to replace the CCD. It is great that...
Man I would LOVE to see what might be possible with an astro camera using a Foveon chip. I just hate the idea of throwing away two thirds of the incoming ...
... I agree. I remember a colleague of mine, Rodney Kennedy, saying that " color is mad in the sense that you have light traveling years/ billions of years...
I would like to take this opportunity to invite all of you to the newest astronomy forum/classifieds website brought to you by Adirondack Astronomy, BT...
John, Thanks for sharing this with the group. Bob Piatek fishcamp engineering 105 W. Clark Ave. Orcutt, CA 93455 http://www.fishcamp.com TEL: 805-937-6365 ...
A big advantage to CMOS is the power consumption. Less power drawn means less heat in the camera. The prototype Starfish I've been testing seems to do nearly...
Bob, If I want color for planetary imaging and such, which filter wheel setup would I get for this camera? Just trying to get an idea of which one to get. ...
... Tim, Convenience and ease of use is pretty important for astro- photography. We have a lot to attend to with all of the equipment we use under the stars....
... Wayne, I'm not an expert on filter wheels. I have a Finger Lakes CFW-7 and have built support into the StarLink program for it. That wheel is expensive...
Hi Bob, Nice to see that the camera is available. I repeat my earlier question regarding linux support... Perhaps device drivers from the Mac should work...
Bob, thank you for your replies. I will probally stick with the manual ATIK or Lumicon filters. I had another question. I saw on your website that you had ...
I've been looking for a new guide camera to pick up the slack after selling my SBIG with the remote guide head. The specs on the Starfish look great -...
Shashi, We have intentions of writing drivers for Linux support but, right now, we've got more than enough work to keep us busy. I'm afraid it will be a while...
Wayne, We did our original testing with the MT9T001 and had some good results but the sensitivity was not what we expected. The pixel wells were only 3.2u and...
Mike, The Starfish should work great for you as a guider. I was out last night using the Starfish on my 106mm FSQ and was guiding on a 10.3 mag star with 0.5...
