BYE 3.0.3 Docs


unktv

Question

At work and would like to read the BYE 3.0.3 docs but can't seem to find them.

Downloaded and purchased pro version, ran outside to catch the sun as the clouds rolled in.

Have some data, captured in planetary mode but noticed my images were quite small 1024x600.

Was hoping for a minimum of 1920x1080 and wanted to actually read the manual now that I have time.

So...where do I find it.

The Docs for v3.0.3 (other than the compendium of Info held in this Forum website) is the PDF installed as part of your BYE v3.0.3 Installation, and is normally accessed by the "?" Help Icon in the Upper-Right of the BYE Application Frame.  Or, you can access the same PDF file via the Program Icon which the Installation placed into the BYE folder of your Start Menu.

BYE Planetary Imaging mode is a capture of the LiveView 5x-Zoom Image Feed.  The On-Camera FullHD (1920x1080) modes are not available to BYE via the Canon ESDK, but are not too desirable in any way as they are heavily Interpolated (and vertically cropped) from the original 5188x3456 Sensor.

 

Planetary Imaging doesn't normally require large / high-pixel-count recordings, because the targets aren't large enough and don't cover that many Pixels.  Solar Imaging, while the target is larger, usually doesn't present enough detail per-pixel to require more than Planetary Mode offers.  And comparisons of Planetary Mode resolution to the more common Planetary Imaging Cameras show near-equivalent Pixel Counts but somewhat smaller Pixels on those Cameras.

 

Overall, the Useful Pixel Count for Planetary Imaging will be dictated by the Focal Length of your Scope and the Radial Size of the target Planet and the Seeing Conditions.  In most of these cases, the central 100-300 pixels of the DSLR Sensor are all that are actually engaged for Planetary Imaging.  So, little need to attempt to capture FullHD Resolution.

Nice Image.

 

It's 419x370, which I assume is the size that you Cropped it to ??  Or did you Resize it down for posting to the Forum ??  If the former, then it seems you got all the Image Size that your Scope would generate on the DSLR Sensor.  In either case, you'd simply Resize in your Image App to address the Screen Image Size that you desire.

Yes, I cropped it, not resized.

I just prefer a larger image.

Movie mode in my 60Da @ 1920x1080 is not too bad, used the Canon software to extract the mov to JPGS for stacking, software a little klunky.

Wish Canon used MPEG or some AVI codec to make my work easier.

But I can get there from here so onward. 

Thanks, will try to post proms close up, clouds made the seeing poor.

Thanks all..also a download link to the manual so I could read it at work would be handy.

The 1920x1080 "FullHD" Movie Mode on the 60D (or 550D/600D/650D etc), is a heavily interpolated "made for Daytime Movies" mashup of 2.7 horizontal Pixels per recorded Movie Pixel (vertical dimension is letterboxed and then a similar odd ratio of pizels is applied).  It makes for some weird losses in resolution of the fine detail on Planetary or Lunar or Solar images.  The result almost always needs to be rescaled when presented on a larger screen of a laptop or desktop LCD.

It is the Focal Lengthand the Sensor Size with dictate the actual "Image Size"...

 

But, if you are happier with the FullHD Movie Modes, the basic goal of AP Imaging by Video Stacking is the same.

 

You can use Canon's ZoomBrowserEX "Export Movie" function to transcode the Canon .MOV files into the .AVI which your Stacking Software desires...
