Hi guys, have been doing some digging around the various scientific communities to see what is being said about pixel bleeding on image sensors. Apart from being in need of brain surgery (some stuff is impossible to follow) one gets the impression that this is literally an overexposure issue where the excess brightness is being dumped onto adjacent pixels along the 'read' direction. However, looking at both James's video footage and mine, we both show a general fuzzy halo all the way around Jupiter 's disc which reminds me of the way old motion picture film would produce a double image on the screen on a mis-aligned movie projector. In that scenario it was the obscuring shutter that caused the problem by allowing the picture frame to be momentarily displayed while the claw was just starting to pull the next frame into the projector gate. I dunno, .... this could be a total red herring ... but could it be a Frames Per Second versus Shutter Speed issue. The latest version of FireCapture which supports these cameras has a totally variable sliding scale of shutter speeds which automatically changes the FPS rate unbidden.
On the next clear night I shall try and use ASI's own capture software to see if it holds the FPS at a steady 60 while allowing me to go backwards from the 16.66ms exposure. Well, .... It's worth a try...
