I have a Meade classic 12" LX-200 scope and am using it with the Lumicon GEG with 6.3 focal reducer. I have 2 Meade DSI cameras, the DSI Pro II, and DSI II...
I finally had a chance to finish this one off. It was quite a challenge finding the appropriate HaR blend in order to avoid that salmon pink hue and yet...
