Description

A mosaic of six panels at FL=750mm, each a stack of 600 (10%) frames in raw-8, 1.5x drizzled, exposure time 1ms at gain 85 and 138fps (10-bit ADC). The alternative version is more intensively color saturated (out of curiosity). All other images in the revision are taken at FL=1500mm with an IR742nm pass filter in raw-8 and then converted to gray scale since the images are in NIR anyway. Recording in raw-8 is about twice as fast than a mono-8. The frame rate can also be increased by selecting High Speed mode (10-bit ADC) in the capture software, but at the expense of higher readout noise and lower dynamic range, however, due to the short exposure times around 6ms the difference to the 12-bit ADC is optically subtle. "Tsuki (月)" is the Japanese word for "Moon" additionally meaning "Month". Also, "Monday" contains the character for the Moon (月曜日).
