Yesterday I failed to take good pictures of ETMY  resonant arm of 1064 nm with Cannon Rebel T3i in RAW 22-27Mp & JPG dual- format. UFRaw file converter worked well. The IR blocker filter seems to be too good.

Today I used Olympus SP-570UZ ( without IR blocker), in raw format of 15Mp, fl 22.4mm, 15s including 2-3s flashlight,  f/8 and auto focus  This is just too much scattered IR for the Olympus.

Overexposed raw picture' jpg is shown  at the PSL with diffraction patter of the camera.

I'll go back using  the Nikon D40 with zoom 55-200mm as this Atm2 of May 2007 : manual focus, 15s, f/4-5.6, ISO 560,  826KB
