Tim Easterday has again blogged about his work with his DMK 21AF04.AS.

He describes how be recently took 22 AVI files of the Moon. At the time, the Moon was only 3.6 days old and consequently represented an attractive crescent next to Venus. He proceeded to process the AVIs in Registax and saved them as TIFF files. On completion, he opened the singular TIFF files in Photoshop and pasted them together to create the magnificent mosaic image.

One comment in his blog about which we were particularly delighted:

I am pretty happy with the result and I am really loving the DMK camera.
(our emphasis)

Thank’s for the DMK love, Tim

Andreas Murner at Teleskop-Service (one of our German resellers) sent us a link to his web site today that contains a number of solar images that he has recently captured using his DMK 31AF03.AS.

He writes (translated from German):

On the following page, you can see my latest solar images. They were captured with the DMK 31AF03.AS astronomy camera, mounted on various hardware and at various wavelengths (393nm, 540nm, 656nm).

The image to the right is one that immediately caught our attention.

Again, Andreas’ work is a great example of the results that can be achieved with The Imaging Source astronomy cameras.

A big thanks goes out to Andreas for sharing his spectacular photos with the astronomy cameras community.

We recently asked the members of the Yahoo! Groups DMK CCD Cameras’ Mailing List to send us photos of their telescope and camera rigs. To our delight, the following people took us up on our request and have sent us photos showing their DMK cameras in action:

• Dan Kaplan
• Efrain Morales
• Marco Sellini
• Rainer Ehlert
• Tim Easterday

We are thoroughly gratefully for the the effort that these customers have made and their participation in the astronomy cameras community. As promised, we have created a special page that showcases the DMK cameras in action:

If you would like to have your telescope and camera rig displayed on the above page, simply send a photo and a short description to info@theimagingsource.com.

Profjohn and The Blue Cubes (DMK’s) will be visiting the The 39th annual Riverside Telescope Makers Conference taking place this week in Big Bear, CA. Located in the San Bernardino mountains, the astronomy exposition will be held at the YMCA Camp Oaks, five miles outside Big Bear.

If you are attending and would care to test The Imaging Source’s fine line of products found on the AstronomyCameras.com website, please contact Profjohn to schedule a meeting time: John.Berryman@theimagingsource.com.

The meeting runs through Memorial Day weekend and features astronomy products from the leading manufacturers in astronomy.

Efrain Morales wrote to us to say that his photo of Saturn and four of its moons was published at Astronomy.com as their Photo Of The Day.

Praise to Efrain for the good work.

Efrain’s rig: 10-inch Meade LX200 telescope and DMK 21F04 CCD camera.
