Re: Full well, an issue??
I don't need to use gain to get a good exposuretime. 1,79ms at Gain 0. The reason i asked is because of the readout noice.It's much lower at gain71. But thats not an issue i guess. And the dynamic range doesn't give me better proms from the dark sky when i do exposure of the limb? I only take one ex...

And the FW is 11003 at Gain 70 Because of a function in the camera the noice is reduced at gain70 and the dynamicrange is almost the same as at gain 0. Only the full well is still reduced at Gain7...
