This is a sample of some of my lunar videos and images taken with an Imaging Source DMK41AF02 astronomy camera attached to a 10″ dobsonian telescope. Each video (avi file) is processed using AviStack to stack only the best portions of each frame in the avi to produce one image (shown after each avi). Each image is then processed in AstraImage (LR Deconvolution) and Photoshop Elements (Levels, Enhance Shadows/Highlights, etc).

USB CMOS Color Auto Focus Cameras The Imaging Source color autofocus cameras have been designed for applications where the distance between the object and camera changes. Using the camera’s One Push autofocus, which is driven by the supplied software, the object always stays exactly in focus, despite a constantly changing working distance. The autofocus camera ships with a USB 2.0 interface and a sensitive sensor from Aptina, which deliver excellent image quality, even in poor lighting conditions. The autofocus camera is priced for cost sensitive machine vision applications. DFK 22 AUC03-F USB 2.0 CMOS Color Autofocus Camera 1/3 ” Micron CMOS, Global Shutter Up to 744×480 Resolution Up to 150fps DFK 72AUC02-F USB 2.0 CMOS Color Autofocus Camera 1/2.5 ” Micron CMOS, Global Shutter Up to 2592×1944 Resolution Up to 52fps USB CMOS Monochrome Auto Focus Cameras The Imaging Source monochrome autofocus cameras are ideally suited to applications were the working distance between widget and camera changes. The monochrome autofocus cameras ship with a USB 2.0 interface and extremely sensitive Aptina sensors, which deliver excellent image quality, even in poor lighting conditions. The cameras have very compact casing, which ensure their integration into existing system is straight forward. The monochrome autofocus cameras are available at a highly competitive price and are thus suited to cost sensitive applications.
