- I am working on an astrocamera based on a 12" f/2.5 aero ektar.
- The negative size will be 2.25 X 3.25". Since no CCD can cover
- an area this large, and I would love to play with the data
- electronically, I have been considering scanning the negative
- on a flat bed scanner.
-
- Is there anyone out there trying this? There are issues like
- backside illumination instead of front side, etc.
-
- Just pondering,
