Test acquisitions 8/24/18

test: change the f ratio to see how this helps the focus

parameters:
24 mm, 13 sec f3.5 ISO 1000

24 mm 20 sec f 5 ISO 1000


Comments: leaves slightly sharper. Much more trailing - 20 sec too long. 

Also - prior to the image acquisition, I changed the WB to Daylight. Much better star colors. 

When I try to stack, the star colors go away - READ ABOUT DE-BAYERING.

The Photography Summary: 1) Stills about 1000 ISO about f/2.4 with new lens about 5 - 10 sec exposure White balance - about 4500 k to test - limits of ISO pushing-how many stops ± TEST+ Do same photo with 100 ISO and 1000 and 5000 and see where it gets you. Test - outdoors. Set at ISO 100 and fast shutter/ aperture, to seriously under expose. Then increase the ISO to 1000, 5000, and HI ISO. Next - overexposed. Set at ISO 100 and properly expose per the meter, then increase the ISO till ugly. LENS tests- do a white photo properly exposed to set the vignetting in LightRoom. and then a brick wall to calibrate the distortion. can I adjust brightness in camera to test exposure? to test - do photos with HI ISO setting. what happens to noise when you halve the number of pixels - should go down significantly. Test on pre-existing images Test vignetting today in the daylight Color noise? noise reduction  Test on pre-existing images 2) Time Lapse use still sett...
