So I am wondering who has aimed their PTZ skyward?
I zoomed in on Venus and Jupiter for a while tonight--- boy that really messes with auto-focus, and the lack of defined objects in frame seems to send noise skyrocketing. Still, I noticed while zoomed in I could see a LOT of satellites that would not be visible otherwise. It was interesting to mess with settings to try and improve the picture on my SD49225XA-HNR PTZ to try to get it to do something for which it was not intended. LOL
A clip from this evening. Venus is the bright fuzzy ball of light, and a very dim satellite goes by underneath. At one point I had 3 different very-dim satellites going through the zoomed frame in different directions. Focus really is the hardest part. So--- who else has done this, and have you been able to better dial in settings??
