LS100T
Poor seeing.

[社長]

Andy, 或許數年後你會發現以下點：

1. 你的老師David放心把一台數萬元的太陽望遠鏡讓你自行操作，因為他信任你
2. 你把一台數萬元的太陽望遠鏡的價值實踐出來了，不負他的期望
3. 你學到一些不能用價格去衡量的知識，這個可大可少的

每當我想起廿多年前跟自己老師去觀星時，其實他沒有直接教我多少技巧或智識，但單在這個月，我正在動手為6個國家及地區建共8個圓頂天文台及數碼星象館，有一個是國家層面的合作，而這一切，都是當年那些無形無式的潛移默化而來的。

After Andy and other students had left, I add the LS100F to the LS100T for a double stack view. Oh my god ......you have to see it to believe the incredible image that I saw with my own eye.

Let's use two eyes tomorrow with the binoviewer.

to qualify yourself for Baader Mark V binoviewer, you should got 2 full sets of TMB Supermonocentrics first, otherwise don't wast your money on those 2nd class eyepieces, in that case the bottleneck is not at the binoviewer, check here

Easy, I can also keep ('test' is a better word) your few sets of mono eyepieces that you have collected from second hand market.

Gamma 10

[David]

The gamma values are different for USB version and Firewire version of DXK cameras.

For a firewire version, a gamma of 10 is (roughly) equivalent to a gamma of 100 in USB version.

For firewire version, we cannot set gamma to a value that is less than 10.
For USB version, we can set gamma to less than 100.

So it is possible to shoot with better contrast with USB version. But we can bring out the contrast later in Photoshop if we use the firewire version.
