What are the differences between the DMK, DBK and DFK series for astronomy?
Although most astronomy pictures are taken in monochrome using the DMK series camera, for the color applications, we have two different models. The DBK is the more sensitive of the two due to the fact there is no IR cut filter in front of the CCD. The DFK that includes the IR filter in front of the CCD chip, has additional versatility for terrestrial use, when there exist an abundance of natural lighting (i.e. looking at birds and the like). Of course, it is possible to arrive at the same solution with the DBK model simply by adding a additional IR filter.
