Sorry I'm not a big expert in the field of optics, but I am aware of our cameras being used to perform adaptive optics and lucky imaging. Adaptive optics in particular requires very fast framerates and low latency to…
I'm not quite sure about their exact optical setup, I know the Zyla's are used in the shark-vis instrument[0]. I would guess from their article that one Zyla is dedicated to adaptive optics and one for imaging. [0]…
> Are the cameras similar to what's in a consumer digital camera, that is, a single image sensor behind a bayer filer and a lens? Yes they're quite similar to consumer camera sensors, our sensors are usually from high…
I work for the company (Oxford Instruments Andor) that produces the cameras for this telescope: https://sites.google.com/inaf.it/shark-vis/instrument/detect... A great achievement! It's very exciting to be a (small)…
As a camera nerd, it's really something to behold [1]. There's some more older stuff on their website [2]; the test images from 2020 were a whopping 31694x31646. They have interactive zoomable images for those here [3].…
I haven't evaluated this personally but the (close to?) lossless raw sensor image compression from Dotphoton [1] seems like an interesting approach for getting around the issue of sensor noise in image compression.…
The Factorio blog [1] does a similarly fun thing with it's return to top functionality. It's a fun little easter egg. Hint: rockets go up [1] https://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-367
Yes, I work with CCD and SCMOS cameras and many of our sensors are cooled via Peltier cooling in a vacuum sealed chamber[1]. I have seen condensation on the sensor window due to vacuum failure before. [1]…
You'd have to ask a solar physicist about those solar structures I'm afraid or an optical expert about the image properties, I just work with camera software. If you haven't already you can download their press release…
I work as a graduate SW engineer at Andor, which produced the SCMOS camera they used to capture the images (https://andor.oxinst.com/balor-scmos). Quite a nice surprise to see during my morning commute! Everyone here is…
