Yeah I guess I bought the wrong IR filter (wanted to block IR and allow visible light) but what I bought it s backwards (block everything except IR).

I'm disappointed in the photos from this camera... I'm not sure if it is just raw resolution eg. I'm used to Sony Alpha 24 or 42 MP compared to the 12... it also is probably made worse by the lens.

At some point I do want to try one of those full-size lens adapters... to see if that is much better.

There's kind of no point in screwing around with a camera if the footage is not really usable.

Anyway... when it's spring/summer I'll do more with this project and also want to build other cameras... hopefully I have a new job by then (more hobby funding).

There is still more work to be done... the current software I wrote for this camera is dog s--- but yeah. I gotta use it more too.
