Description

Not sure what my problem is with horizontal lines, but I had some horrible ones in this picture.

Noise was also OUT OF CONTROL! It was very hot outside while I was capturing though (it's pretty much summer here in Deep East Texas - 90+ F during the day with 90%+ humidity is a constant) - the camera sensor was up to 108 at one point (and yeah, this was well into the night).

Not sure how to deal with the noise other than getting a cooled CCD... I was looking at some nice ones earlier - cools -65 below ambient! Cost an arm, three legs, and a firstborn though. Ahh, we can dream, can't we?

Hope you enjoyed this one!
