Description

This is my first photo done with my new IMX571 sensor based camera. Among other, the cam offers high dynamic, 16 bit, APS-C size, 26mp resolution, etc. The cam driver software offers two gain modes - high conversion gain (HCG) and a low conversion gain (LCG).

As a first test I took 10 frames in HCG mode, and 5 frames in LCG mode, each 180s long.

Processing was done in Fitswork and Adobe Lightroom.

Unfortunately that night was some smoke in the air, which is visible around the brighter stars.
