ON Semi Discontinues Kodak CCD Manufacturing | |

(OP)Senior Forum Moderator  10/09/2019 09:56 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Wow, kind of saw this coming but the moment was sudden. Kodak CCDs are commonly found in high end amateur astrophotography equipment, including the cameras I use. In fact, the KAI-2020CM that I use for deep space imaging is also used by NASA on the Mastcam, MAHLI, and MARDI cameras of the Mars Curiosity Rover. If you want a high end astrophotography camera that uses a Kodak CCD, get it now while you still can. Everything is moving to CMOS as the video mentions, but for deep space astrophotography CCDs are still common in high end cameras and Kodak made some of the most popular CCDs for that purpose. in the video industry we have found the CMOS better the CCD's. That is what is used in the high end camera like the Arri Alexa 65 or the 100 Megapixel Hasselblad V System camera. They all use CMOS.... I thought NASA uses the Hasselblad.....they're almost partners. but really CMOS is leading to possible 200+ Megapixel sensors. Already 8k is the shooting standard for films...but the average is only 30 t0 40 megapixels the Hasselblad is the high end standard for photography with their 100+ sensors. CCD's top at 20 to 30 Megapixel. Pixel count isn't everything. On-chip pixel binning (which further reduces effective resolution but sometimes we want that and gain sensitivity), ADC bit depth, and linearity across the chip are all in CCD's favor for deep space astrophotography.

I took every one of those images myself you fucking loser. You must suck at astrophotography. only thing your seeing is the effects of meth, put down the pipe man. Quoting: IdiotYou're the one who's fucking high if you believe the shit you're spewing. |

Where do these douchebags come from?? is that the best you can do, hello mcfly , there are a yuge numbers of people that are certain that space is a hoax (which it is) and we are on a flat plain. that means that you believe what you wanna believe and we will believe what we know, not from being told by the tv. its all fake moon space planets , all of it, fake as astros pics There's nothing fake about it. You're a fucking idiot. |

Keep drooling over a small APO with some sort of cooled astrocam. The weather is teasing me with clear skies as well. So sad that even a beginner astrophoto setup would cost like a yearly salary here ><If any foreign minister begins to defend to the death a "peace conference," you can be sure his government has already placed its orders for new battleships and aeroplanes. |
