ok but this time there are not bad frames, Walt! It says continuous recording ok and there was no message of skipped frame. Everything went smooth. I've recorded for 1.30mins and it's fine =)

Sorry, Walter..my bad. There you go:



ps: look what a 600D can do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6oIqcA8EMY

Canon EOS 600D
(1080p video crop mode
ISO6400, 30fps, 1/30s exposures
Auto White Balance/Auto Picture Style)

I had a dedicated CCD camera once but I didn't achieve such quality, this is my Saturn (my first and only one since I had to sell the ccd camera soon later due to a malfunction of some other telescope components last year...):

oh no sorry i wasn't paying attention to exposure time, it lets me tweak it as i please anyways =)

i actually did that test days ago on my card with blackmagic speed test and it's 90mbs read and 80mbs write.

thanks!

with 1920x1080 from canon setting I got this:



37.838fps. To obtain the 3500 frames I want it takes 1.30min. Not bad. It's gonna be enough for saturn and jupiter. At least like you said there are not gonna be corrupted files =)

Okay maybe now i got the crop factor thing.

In the canon menu I select 640x480 (the standard one, not the crop one)
In ML i put 640x480 4:3 and I got crop factor of 4.37x and 53.5fps

I think it's the one I've been looking for since previously it showed only 1.62x (you can see it from one of the image links I posted in my previous post)
please take a look and tell me if i got it right =)

edit: now i let it record to see if i reached 60sec but it stopped after 30 saying FRAME SKIPPED RECORDING STOPPED. Do I have to allow the frame skipping option in order not to stop recording?

edit 2: I did, and it told me live how many frames it skipped...it skipped like 350 frames out of 3200...60 seconds.

This is what I setup from canon menu and ml menu. What does EXPECT AROUND 0 FRAMES AT 20.2MB/s mean? Can I still shoot or do I have to obtain the green message "continuous recording ok?" to get that i have to go down to fps override at 38fps exact for 4:3 or if i wanna keep 56fps i have to choose not 4:3 but like 3:2 and others...but i want 4:3

I did I test anyways, and shot at 56.250fps 640x480 4:3... should give me about 560 frames for 10 seconds, right? 



seems like i didn't lose any frame? But i wouldn't mind anyways since i have to shoot planets and stack the images, I don't mind a few frames drop! But can you tell me if everything is correct, the 640x480 is the crop 7x of the 60d default, right?
Any other options i should set on the raw menu in ML? There are a lot of options...

wait, i got it! I had to put 1080p from the normal canon menu first!!! I thought magic lantern wasn't connected to that! (i had crop 640x480 in there)

standard video icon, what others are there?

Yes I have all those enabled, same results =(

but let me play more with a buddy of mine...let's see if we can figure this out...

there isn't any crop mod settings to chose,

and when i do the magnify button thing you said it just won't let me do that, it says magnification not possible (in italian, because it's not magic lantern saying that but the canon os.)

I'm lost.

This is what I've downloaded:

Hey, guys, I'm new here and I'm from Italy! I just got a 60D and I'm gonna use it to shoot planetary with my telescope, and moon.
I have bought the 60D because of the crop mode 640x480 1:1, which is great and allows you to shoot at 60fps! Also gives u a 7x magnification!

I just installed magic lantern because in addiction to that I wanted it to be raw, which is a dream for astrophotography.

Anyways. I'm getting a hard time with ML. First of all, when I select the iso, no matter what I put it always remain in auto.
It makes me choose EQUIVALENT ISO and CANON ANALOG ISO. But when I go in live vide it changes in AUTO. Why? =(

also I don't quite understand how to shoot in crop mode. Do I have to select directly 640x480 (makes me record up to 56fps) or do I have to select 1920 and then select some sort of crop from there? Because even if I go to 1920 it tells me that the maximum I can do is actually 736!

Other than that, any other tip?

Thanks, guys <3

ps: I heard that with magic lantern the crop gives you actually 3x magnification and not 7 as the original canon os, why?
