Nice images. However, that doesn't look like what created the world. This does. M42 Orion's Nebula 16 ISO 6400 1 minute images Stacked

This made me smile. The photo did not.

Finally someone has posted a really good video of everything you shouldn't do with video. M4/3s really doesn't need to be stopped down. Most m4/3s lenses are very sharp wide open and none are...

I convert it to a near lossless CinemaPak by radius codec in an avi container. Registax will easily open that as long as the video is less than 1 minute in duration. You don't need as many frames...

I wonder how the D600 would do with something that really has some dynamic range? Something like M42? This is a stacked from HDR JPG source files from a Panasonic GH3. It would be great to do the...

That is a good single exposure shot. However, it is a little overexposed. If you use a faster shutter speed and a lower ISO it will allow you to use the electronic shutter mode which definitely...

The 1080p @ 60 FPS would be a great addition if it actually had anywhere near that resolvable resolution. When zoomed in the video looks fairly detailed. When zoomed out it looks more like 480p...

Here is what is possible with the Excellent Panasonic 1080p ETC video mode. 3 separate 1080p ETC videos stacked and combined for the Panoramic image. Individual frames before combining.

Here is the power of the ETC video mode. Remember this is only an 800mm telescope that really is not the “Sharpest” tool in the shed. If I had used my buddies 14 inch SCT this picture would have...

I didn't use the ETC mode for the single exposure stills because it doesn't add anything. All of that data is in the RAW file for me to just crop arround. However, for the video files the camera...

I was tracking with the CG-5. I even had it in Lunar mode which tracks the moon very well. I forgot to switch back when I tried to take a picture of M31. The tracking was way off then.

Last night was a terrific observing night weather wise. We had perfect seeing which almost never happens in our area with no cloud cover and lower temps so no bugs. However, that pesky moon was out...

That is a really cool image.

I felt like the in camera 2x ETC Crop mode worked pretty well. I just love me GH3 and the 35-100mm F2.8 lens. I wouldn't trade that combo for any other camera or lens. With the GH3 and that lens I...

I don't think it is very venous to people. It will bite you if you messed with it though. Trust me you wouldn't mess with this spider if you saw it. However, if you accidentally walked into its web...

I have no idea why it stretches some of the images in the preview. They are correct if you view them in my gallery.

We noticed that this little guy setup camp on our back deck over the weekend. He isn’t really that little. His leg span is almost 2 inches. He caught a huge moth the other night but he has already...

Should we compare resolution or noise? The Fuji lacks both because of the in camera noise reduction even for RAW files.

And the Fuji and Ricoh lenses are not very sharp at telephoto distances since they are fixed focal length.

You can measure 2-3 degrees with your eyes. That is quite impressive.
