SUN (20240408) | Apollo M Max Pro First Light

First Light of the Player One Apollo M Max Pro. It not the best camera for FD imaging but I tried it today after dodging a few clouds...

Pedro amazing result!
I have a question about gain and ms! I see you have 140gain and 4ms! Why you do not use 0 gain and 10ms? Or gain need stay default 140 and ms less better? Do not use 0 gain never and use default gain will be better? For example I have 429mm ( gain default 71) and 432mm (gain default 145) What do you say better give 71 gain 429mm and less ms? Thank you!

I do not look at the sky with the eyes of an astronomer, but of a person looking for the beauty of nature.

Thanks guys

I usually use unity gain with CMOS cameras (it varies from camera to camera). The noise is lower if you use unity gain. This camera is fast and you get usually 128 frames per second easily (whole chip)
