Usage of Pin Lever of CM2C or CM2N

The Pin Lever of CM2C or CM2N is located far from the pin hook.  Therefore [Push Upward] is more good  to unlock the pin of lens mount.

CA1 ( AF adapter ) Installation

CA1 (AF adapter ) Installation Guide. (Astro 200D, Astro 80D, Astro 5D Mark IV, Astro 6D-C)

1.Prepare CA1 and 2″(48mm) Filter.
Back focus distance of CA1 is 44mm (Same to Canon DSLR) and it’s only valid in case of you install a filter (1.8mm~3.0mm thickness glass can be acceptable) in 48mm thread of CA1. If you use CA1 without any filter installation, your lens may not get infinity focus.

2.Install filter to CA1.

Monochrome A7s CMOS Sensitivity Test

Debayered A7s CMOS

Gold wirings on 4 sides of sensor ares was covered by epoxy to protect from chemical solution. CMOS sensor is  having several defected points in debayering process. And these made Horizontal rows and vertical columns in image.

 

Test condition:

Astro A7s camera 1 set.

Low pass filter was removed, Hoya clear filter window on airtight chamber + Hoya UV IR cut filter in Drop-In filter holder.

Indoor table , 50mm F1.4 lens +white cover plate.

ISO100, 1/20sec electric shutter (Silent mode) exposure. sony RAW image format(ARW) was taken.

Original JPG images

1.Taken from color CMOS

2.Taken from mono CMOS

ARW file was processed to 16bit B/W image in RawDigger.

1. Image from Original Color CMOS

2.Image from Debayered A7s CMOS sensor( This sensor is the one extracted from another A7s camera and debayered by chemical solution.)

Level stretched image comparison.(255 ->30)

 

Center Area cropped, 16pixels x 15pixels area

 

Luminance Level Comparison (Black=0, White=100)

We can see the difference of pixel brightness  in Color CMOS :G1,G2 is more bright than Blue or Red pixels. It caused by the color filter character. In mono CMOS the bright level of pixels are very stable. I expected to see the level of mono CMOS pixels exceed to green pixels’s luminance value, but it’s  20% lower .  it’s most equal to Red value and 25% over  level of Blue pixels.

Average Luminance Level is Color CMOS =41, Mono Debayered CMOS= 39,  Monochrome sensor is slightly lower. But in resolution aspect, Monochrome sensor is 2 times higher compared to Color sensor.

Image Processing for Nebula Object

There are so many ways to make astro images from Raw File .

Here is one way using RawDigger + Photoshop. 자세히 보기

Q: How can I change the reddish astro images taken by my modified camera to the natural colored astro images?

A:  The camera modification for astro photography aims to  maximum H-alpha (Hα)  656nm recording. Camera modification for astro photography make the regular camera to High Ha sensing camera, it’s about 3 times more compared to unmodified digital cameras.

But the color of background will become so reddish, because the increased red light amount.

There are many ways of image processing to correct the reddish colors to natural colors.

Here are 2 simple ways.

A. Take the shots using Custom White Balance
