AZtecClean offers an automated SEM/EDS based solution reporting to ISO 16232 and VDA 19 standards to monitor cleanliness based on the inspection of particles on filters after washing the parts. Manufacturing cleanliness and contamination control is critical to ensure quality to parts such as injector nozzles. It beats silently for eternity.We provide characterisation solutions ranging from manufacturing to the construction of measurement tools for emissions and combustion and fluid dynamics. Now this is the deepest heart of Orion - and a living heart as well. The balance of the Baader RGB is proprietory. The Baader UHC-L filter was used for 7.5 min. I have already taken pictures of the M42 at 2700mm with 11 and 6 micron, but the Marana is really extraordinary at this focal length when comparing my older results.
The seeing was okay, because 3852mm focal length at -6 degrees Dec: is not a state were one could say : I'll take a quick picture now. Special mention should be made of the HDR of the Andor Marana. All usable datasets are within a range of 0.4 FWHM. I will still need to change this.īut still! This camera is a monster. The result is a proof that the mechanical backfocus of my setup is an ever so tiny bit too long (maybe 0.2/0.3 mm). UHC-L subframes are balanced between Blue/Green and Red. Countless subframes needed to be inspected/measured individually for best selection.įWHM weighting of Green and Blue are very similar, w. Fast changing air transparency really was my problem during these nights. This is true "Lucky-imaging"Įach subframe is just signal - no noise at all. RGB and an impeccable camera - what a dream come true. An ideal number of UHC-L frames, balanced w. Such kind of data set rested in my dreams since long.time. Protoplanets made visible in the heart of Orion (Andor Marana w. More about Andor's cameras at Baader Planetarium> Resourceful amateurs will in future explore the interaction of smaller telescopes and ANDOR cameras even further and achieve previously unattained results. Surely the potential of the ANDOR Marana was used only rudimentarily in this test. It turned out that due to the sensitivity and the clean signal of the ANDOR cameras, excellent images can be obtained in a significantly reduced time. iKon CCD series: up to 16.8 MP back-illuminated and low-noise CCDs for broad range of astronomical applications, including a variety of sensor optionsĪ first experiment with an ANDOR camera on a high end amateur telescope took place in July 2020 on La Palma, in cooperation with the well-known astrophotographer Christoph Kaltseis.iXon EMCCD series: single photon sensitivity, high QE and frame transfer structure for applications like Adaptive Optics, Speckle and Lucky Imaging, as well as Exoplanet Studies.sCMOS series: up to 16.9 MP and >90% QE options for high time resolution and large FOV applications.Crucially, Andor’s cameras for Astronomy stand for superb quality, vacuum innovation and ease of maintenance, intended to maximize your observing time and to minimize cost of ownership. Across each technology category, low noise floor and back-illuminated QE options are common, as are very large area sensor solutions for maximum sky coverage. This is in response to requests from companies, institutes and amateur astronomers to integrate these high-quality special cameras into telescope systems and observing stations.Īndor's product portfolio incorporates a range of high-performance detector solutions for Astronomy, from high time resolution sCMOS and EMCCD cameras to slow scan CCDs. Please note: We offer ANDOR cameras exclusively for astronomical applications and satellite tracking.
