I sincerely apologize. I have an explanation, but I accept full responsibility. Jerry

Then I deeply apologize to Mr. Fossom. Jerry

I am too lazy to check, but it handles everything else I've ever heard of. Not saying you are wrong. Jerry

Do you have the latest version of DSS? You absolutely need to save files out of your camera with the RAW format, not jpegs. Here are tips on using DSS. If your files won't work, just convert them ...

Sorry guys, no summary for you. Eric Fossom wants me banned. Since I do not meet his approval and since he is king of this forum, I'm gone. I came in good intentions. I asked serious questions. I ...

I'm not surprised that you would want me banned because I respect your work, but not you personally. I was warned privately off list not to mention the word "CCD" in your presence. I didn't realize ...

Sure I can understand that. What I can't understand is why you waste your time and mine replying at all then? Do you get a perverse pleasure out of belittling people who try self-deprecating humor ...

It applies to everything. It was popularized by Donald Rumsfeld. You could have googled that. That's not what I am talking about. An expert should know what they don't know. Like the shore of ...

Wow, you are, like the young folks say, so very very deep, it is absolutely frightening! If you don't understand the hardware/output Hemmingway reference, I guess you are not as educated as you ...

Here, I'm going to answer my own questions as I expect other serious answers, like 57even's, to be. What specific technical concepts do you not know about photography? I don't understand: (1) The tech ...

Hi 57even, I want to deeply thank your for taking the time to actually think about the questions and not have a knee-jerk reaction that we are "Dunning-Kurger" for even asking or thinking about it. ...

Only egomanics can not, or will not, answer truthfully what they do not know about their area of expertise. No, egomaniacs is not the precise term. Someone could have, say, literally invented the ...

Unfortunately, this daytime test will not tell you what stars will look like at night, which is kind of the point. A lens intended for star fields needs to be tested on a star field with the same ...

Yea, my brain is my second favorite organ. :-)

I have tremendous respect for the world-leading experts here on DPReview. So I would like to pose some difficult questions: I know how you know what you know: facts, experience, study, mistakes, ...

Thanks. Jerry

Yes, but for a stack, the dark noise in the dark frame will be added to each individual sub. And when you stack, there isn't any benefit in shorter exposures. The dark signal, and dark noise, will ...

Glad to help! Nothing is nicer, to me, then when a bulb in my slow brain finally goes off and I suddenly understand something new. Well, thinking more about it... maybe sex might be nicer. :-) Jerry

No problem. Shorter exposures don't reduce thermal signal if you stack to equal a longer one. If one is not stacking, wouldn't DNSU be proportional to the total integration time just as thermal ...

There may be a billion reasons why its a great camera. For everything except professional sports action photography. Jerry
