- A short sample of using a Revolution Imager 224 camera on a Foggy night looking at Live views of Jupiter, The Moon, and Saturn. Then seeing them after being stacked in Registax.
I use an ED80 Refractor and a 2" 2x barlow.
The camera is available here: www.revolution...
Excellent results! Thanks for sharing your work. Scott
Thank you Scott. Glad you like it.
Awesome Images! I really like my Revolution Imager, & The info in your Comments are extremely Helpful Thank You!
Thanks Magee. Glad I could help in some way 👍
Not bad for 80mm... very sharp and nice detail. My 114LCM can't even get that sharp of an image because of the low grade correction barlow they built into the focuser.
Thanks Matt. The ED80 telescopes are well known for their sharpness in Astrophotography. They are very camera friendly. Yes, built-in Barlow's can be a system''s downfall.
WOW!!! great job Bloke, that lil camera has some power.
Thanks Kenn, it sure has.
I've got to learn how to use registax correctly. Awesome photos!
- Thanks gliderider. Registax is pretty easy to use. Even though Registax is up to v6 I like using v3 and v4. They are simpler, and work well. I actually prefer v3 for long exposure DSO image stacking.
Download Pipp and crop the footage for the best results with planetary stacking.
Looking good Ken!!!
Thanks Killer : )
It was fun too.
Great video. I’m having trouble with bright planets,
. Could you show me the settings you used for these shots?
Thank you. Jupiter and Saturn were at about 1/300th of a second video frame speed, the Moon was at 1/1000th of a second video frame speed. All were about 50% gain. I hope that helps 👍
I purchased the dvr that is supposed to made to use with it but the weather has been very wet here in Michigan and haven't been able to do anything since buying it
Have fun with it when you get better weather. 👍
Lovely ☺👍
I need some help what is the easy way to stack with software it came with. I can't figure it out. What settings
Rafael, in the column of settings on the left, go down to 'Live Stack'. Select the number of frames you want to stack (as an example, enter 3), Select 'Average', Select Planet or Deep Sky, click on 'Align Frames' then finally click on 'Enable'. When you start the camera, either Video mode or Trigger mode, it will keep stacking 3 frames and align them for you.

I want very Foggy night
Can't you get the exact same results using and Asi 224 color, Sharpcap and a laptop? far better camera and about 50 bucks cheaper than this
They are the same cameras. Both are IMX224, but the Revolution version comes as a kit with a 0.5x Focal Reducer and IR filter included.
Here in Australia the difference is that the ZWO version is more expensive which is why the Revolution kit is so appealing. I have used both and the only difference I found between the two is that the ZWO version has less Amp Glow in longer exposures, but I don't use long exposures so it's a moot point to me.
As for SharpCap, I personally don't like it, but many people do. I prefer to use the software designed for this camera: 'ToupSky', also known as 'RisingSky'.
I used a Laptop for the video. The camera requires one.
I also use several other ZWO cameras, Touptek cameras, RisingTech cameras as well as MallinCam, Watec, and Samsung Analogue Astronomy cameras and an Orion Deep Sky Video camera and Orion Starshoot. Plus DSLR imaging and modified ToUcams.
All run through a variety of capture software programs.
Thanks for watching 👍
BallaratDragon thank you for the information I appreciate it. Can that camera be hooked up to anything bigger than the 7-inch monitor .. like a USB port thanks again
Brian, you are confusing this Revolution 224 camera with the Revolution Imager R2 'Analogue' camera. This one in my video is the exact same camera as the ZWO 224, the Altair Astro 224, RisingTech 224, etc. It only works via USB to a computer, whereas the older Revolution Imager 'Analogue' camera you may be thinking of will work via a Computer or just a monitor.
This is the IMX224 camera I used in this Video: www.revolutionimager.com/products/224
This is the 'Analogue' camera you may be thinking I am using in this video: www.revolutionimager.com/collections/products/products/r2
As you can see they are totally different cameras. I am using the IMX224.
BallaratDragon yes sir thank you for clarifying that I ended up ordering the revolution 2
