Re: [APML] New Image: M78 Mosaic



Great image Rob!
Roland mentioned the large array cameras.  I looked at FLI a few days ago and did not realize that they are making cameras with the 3k x 2k and 4k x 4k - 9 micron Kodak chips.  Drool.........
I also see that Wil and Brian are using the 6303E chip.  Wow!   Why hasn't SBIG come out with cameras using these two chips? 
For those who haven't seen it, check this image out...taken with the 6303E.

Now if I could only come up with 16K or 23K...........sigh..............

The ST10 would offer much better resolution
but the FOV of the IMG camera is 4X that of the kodak3200 (ST10).

Thanks for the info. Mark Jenkins has an FLI camera similar to the ST10E but without guide chip. He's using an STV for guiding and getting good results.

I just visited the FLI web site again. They have some interesting chips, including a large Site chip from Marconi and a 2"x2" chip from Kodak - don't ask the price for these. Amazing. I hope these products will become more affordable down the road.
