Signal to Noise Comparasion
Apogee Alta U47 vs Canon 5D DSLR
The rollover image above was made using images captured within minutes of each other on a 14.25"
telescope. The U47 CCD image comprised 30 second dark subtracted RG&B images, the Canon 5D again was a 30 second
exposure at an ISO of 1600, in camera noise reduction ON. No Flat fields were applied to either image.
Both images were gamma scaled to equivalent background noise levels.
