Utilization of consumer level digital cameras in astronomy
Original language description
This paper presents a study of possible utilization of digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) cameras in astronomy. The DSLRs have a great advantage over the professional equipments in better cost efficiency with comparable usability for selected purposes. The quality of electro-optical system in the DSLR camera determines the area where it can be used with acceptable precision. At first a set of important camera parameters for astronomical utilization is introduced in the paper. Color filter array (CFA) structure, demosaicing algorithm, image sensor spectral properties, noise and transfer characteristics are the parameters that belong among the very important ones and these are further analyzed in the paper. Compression of astronomical images using the KLTapproach is also described below. The potential impact of these parameters on position and photometric measurement is presented based on the analysis and measurements with the wide-angle lens.
