Aerial photography from the Davis region taken during November 2009 used for Adelie penguin analysis

The fourth flight from 0734-0946 UTC on the 21st November 2009 repeated the previous flight over the northern Vestfolds after preliminary stitching showed that the coverage was not as good as desired. Also, the flight lines for Tryne, Mikkelson and Wyatt Earp were moved to use the north-south flight lines. The opportunity was also taken to repeat a flight over Gardner and perform other tasks (visit 'Woop Woop', the plateau skiway and perform a low level LIDAR scan on the blue ice runway) (see download file).

The fifth flight from 1306-1556 UTC on the 21st November 2009 covered Hop and Filla Islands in the Rauers (see download file). The sixth and final flight from 0828-0951 UTC on the 23rd November 2009 covered the remaining Rauer Islands including Forpost, Torckler, Varyarg, Lunnyy and Kryuchock Islands (see download file). Vertical photos were taken along each flight line from a Squirrel AS350BA helicopter (VH-SES) flying at 80 knots and 750m altitude using a Hasselblad H3DII-50 camera with a 150 mm lens and 1/800th second shutter speed.

A 3-second shutter closure interval was achieved using an SDK and intervalometer. The camera auto-focussed effectively at infinity using the software Phocus.
