About this image

With 60mm aperture and using 5x magnification with the Powermate, oversampling of the image is inevitable. At this magnification exposure time would need to be quite high to produce a 70% full histogram. Instead I binned the image 2x2 and whilst this reduced the size of the overall capture it did allow me a sensible exposure time of 9 ms at unity gain of 189. Overall 2,000 frames were capture at 110 fps and the best 10% stacked to produce this image.
