The telescope is a 90cm astronomical telescope.  The camera is black & white.  When taking this color photo, 4 filters were used: red, green, blue and IR block.  10 photos were taken with each filter, and the 10 photos are combined into one for better signal to noise ratio.  At the end, the resulting 4 photos (corresponding to the 4 filters) were combined into a single color filter.

"10 photos are combined" 很酷,看来这是减轻噪点的常用方法 -akuan- 给 akuan 发送悄悄话 (33 bytes) () 11/26/2011 postreply 05:45:40

Yeah, it is the last weapon for dealing with dim subjects. -pieq314- 给 pieq314 发送悄悄话 pieq314 的博客首页 (93 bytes) () 11/26/2011 postreply 20:18:52
