Thanks Jared, in retrospect you are 100% correct. I believe he was also using photographic-density Baader film to enable the short exposures. On Jul 10, 2012 3:45 PM, "Jared Smith" <jared@smithplanet.com> wrote:
No, milliseconds are thousands of a second - meaning 3.4ms is 1/300th second exposures. Not really fast at all for most modern CCD cameras. Microseconds would be one millionth of a second and I don't think there are cameras capable of shutter speeds in that range.

I believe it's milliseconds, in other words hundredths of a second, but I could be mistaken. Either way, pretty short.

What is the individual exposure -- 3.4 ms. Does that mean 3.4 microseconds? Is a microsecond 1/1000 of a second? Thanks, Joe
