I was more curious how a device like a video camera, which is pretty much set to produce exposures every 1/50 second, could be modified to allow longer exposures and then suitably controlled...

I am now suitably boggled. :wink:

Hi Rick,

One of this things I'm goign to try before taking a soldering iron to it is to try "off chip integration" this is where the software at the pc collects individual frames to make up and image.  It involves no soldering at all and shoud suffice for a guide cam.

http://www.qcuiag.co.uk/ have a look on the left side and there's a section about off chip integration, its worth a looky see.


John,

This is not the camera I was on about :smile:  I'm going to save my money for a 12bit 1/2" ccd :smile:
