I've done video closeups of the moon as well, but in general they don't beat the full-disc, full resolution results (at least on my camera).įor planets, the T2i movie crop results are quite decent and would definitely be the way to go if not for the unfortunate compression. I would only add that for full disc shots of the moon, if 30 is good, 200 or more is even better. So in summary, I would say that if you definitely do not want to use a computer, then the Movie Crop mode is the next best option, based upon what I've read here over the past few years.Īgree with both replies so far. In my experience connecting the DSLR to a computer produces a image that is very similar to that obtained using a dedicated planetary camera, the ASI224MC. I've not used Magic Lantern before, but others in this forum have to good effect. The next best way is using the 640x480 Movie Crop mode that is only available with a few cameras (including the 500D), however others (namely Grant aka RedLion) have found that the compression used in this mode reduces image quality. The problem for you (as has been discussed here a number of times) is that recording the LiveView stream at 5x zoom directly to a computer is the best way to capture a video stream for high resolution planetary imaging. Hi Elf, I know you are quite knowledgeable in the field, and so assume you are familiar with the work of Jerry Lodriguss as posted on his website here. If this is better placed in the DSLR form the mods may move it there. Is there any benefit using the mono for luminance? If the camera performs an internal debayer in video mode it will very likely ruin the extra resolution. Now my question is it there is any benefit using quality settings in ML in the non raw modes and is this best with the 550D or does the huge increase in processing power and faster card writing suggest to go for a downsampled video mode on the 800D? It seems to be limited to the buffer only, some 15 seconds. I already tried raw mode with the 550D and my conclusion is it _cannot_ work because the card interface is too slow. I also learned magic lantern comes with a raw capture and with quality settings. What is the best way to capture high res? I learned the 550D offers a 1:1 crop mode and tested this out. EOS 600D - T3i full spectrum mono (Bayer pattern removed)
My way is without computer and I'd like to optimize my images within that setup. I do _NOT_ want to get into imaging using a laptop, neither with the DSLR nor with a dedicated camera.
I'm trying to get into DSLR high resolution, lunar and solar spots for the time being, planets as soon as they are higher in the sky here in the north.
