Through an interesting convluence of two different things that have my attention right now (learning about the Monochrom sensor and webcam video for planetary astrophotography) I tripped across a bunch of info on REMOVING THE BAYER FILTERS from the front of your DSLR sensor (in essence, making it into a Monochrom equiv). This allows you capture a lot more light (using every pixel) and also to apply the same filter to each and every pixel (helpful for astrophotography and combining different wavelengths of light (you make a color image at the end of the process).
Sound like you need to be pretty brave to try it: http://www.jtwastronomy.com/tutorials/debayer.html http://stargazerslounge.com/topic/166334-debayering-a-dslrs-bayer-matrix/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
