I purchased a DMK 21AU04.AS two month ago. In my quest to try to find the best sample ratio for Jupiter of my Celestron CPC925 and the camera, I ran a test of Jupiter using no barlow and a 2x barlow with different nose piece extensions. Here the results of the red images only.
Also [above is] one IRGB image taken one day earlier showing the GRS.
Maybe some other C9.25 and DMK 21AU04.AS users can benefit from this test.
Thank you Theo for your great contribution!

Stephen Ramsden, from Atlanta, GA runs www.solarastrophotography.com. He sent in the following fan mail last night:
I bought the DFK 31[AU03.AS] and the DMK 31[AU03.AS] from Camera Bug in Atlanta and I love them! Thanks for a great product. Would you please consider using my photo for use on your gallery page? It was my first attempt through my Coronado SolarMax 90 with your DMK 31[AU03.AS] monochrome 15 minutes out of the box.
We are only too happy to publish your image here in the blog. Here it is:
Thanks for the great photo. Keep them coming!

In the past couple of weeks, there has been a flurry of reports on the Astronomy Cameras Competition, which we are currently running. To enter the competition, all you have to do is answer one simple question. You are then in with a chance of winning a DMK 21AU04.AS.
Below is an overview of some of the reports:

When a member of The Imaging Source family reads a nice article in the Newsletter, a magazine, or the blog, I often receive responses from other members of our tribe that reads about like this…
Hello Profjohn,
I saw the Jupiter animation in your newsletter an thought you might be interested in one I made a few nights ago. I used a DMK 21AU04.AS camera and C8 at F/10. I captured 62 sequences of about 200 frames each at one minute intervals. I then processed each video in RegiStax. The resulting JPEGs were then aligned in Photoshop.
Click here to see the movie
The aligned images were made into a movie using PhotoLapse software. Finally, I imported the movie into Windows Movie Maker to add titles and credits. It took quite a bit of time for a 4 second movie, but I really like it.
Once again, thanks for an excellent product.
