This image of home just came down from the Artemis II crew.

Taken after their translunar injection burn, there are aurorae at top right and lower left, and zodiacal light at lower right.

The proper source and in its 5568 x 3712 glory.

[–] missphant@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

ISO 51200

I didn't even know it could go that high. 🤣

Sony A1 MKii can hit 102,400 for stills.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

AFAIK anything past 32,000 is digitally expanded (which could be done with RAW post-processing).

EDIT:

See: https://www.photonstophotos.net/Charts/RN_ADU.htm#Nikon%20D5_14,Sony%20ILCE-1M2_14

The old Nikon D5, impressively, doesn't seem to post-scale even at ISO 102400

"Old" high-end DSLRs are aging well, digital photography has been in the diminishing returns for a while now. You're almost surely getting better pictures out of a 10 year old flagship than a brand new mid-level camera, and the "thoroughly tested" part matters a lot in spaceflight

Still surprises me that it's a D5 of all things, but then my main camera is only a year newer than that one. Not sure I'd use a DSLR at this point though.

Thank you, I was annoyed when the source link just went to a blue sky post from some rando who themselves didn’t post their source.
