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 ver…

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 adapti…

> 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 senso…

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!…

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 interact…

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 …

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…

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 va…

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 alread…

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 du…
