Soren, I just completed a series of tests last night with my SuperApo and WO FF III using a 1mm and 2mm shim. The results are essentially the same as with no...
Hi Don I am curious about the degree of astigmatism in the TV FF. One can see a hint of the astigmatism in the FFIII by the slight diamond shape of the corner...
Hi Scott, I did the inside/outside focus testing with WO FF III last night as I tested the shims. It behaves as you would expect for astigmatism. I'll try it...
Thanks for all the advice folks. I've tried absolutely everything to no avcail I'm afraid. I removed all of the accessories and still the focusser won't movce...
Hi Rob, I just caught up with this thread. I've been having exactly the same problem with my ZS80FD for the last few nights. If you find out anything useful, ...
Rob. I am using a FD 80 also bought from Ian min is one of the red ones. I have an SBIG ST2000 hanging off the back with two extension tubes. There are some...
Hi folks, Haven't posted in a while here, but have tried to keep up with what's been going on. I ended up taking delivery of one of the first units to ship...
Hi All, Well I arrived back from Lake Garda in Italy a couple of days ago! I took my WO ZS66 SD and EOS 350D in a hope to do some imaging however, the weather...
Hi Daniel Thanks a lot for the review. Very well done. I have a few comments. For the FFIII the elongation seen in the m90 image is a sign that the average...
All. Just to clarify what I mean is to keep the focuser knobs and axle closet to the ground and not at the sides or top. Kevin No virus found in this outgoing...
Hi Scott, I did the inside/outside focus test with the TV FF on the SuperApo last night and comfirms as I suspected the Astigmatism is less than with the WO FF...
Will do Rick, I'll speak to Ian King tomorrow and when I've found something usefull, I'll post. Kevin, thanks for the info regarding the tensioning of the...
Don Thanks for the test data. I would like just a little clarification. You tested at about +/-.3mm from best focus for a total change of .6mm from the two...
Thanks Scott, "+/-.3mm from best focus for a total change of .6mm from the two extremes" is correct. Don ... You tested at about +/-.3mm from best focus for a...
Yesterday, after a few days of bad weather, i did my first test of the new FFIII with my Astro Tech AT80 upgraded with Apograde doublet. I did some shots from...
Thanks Scott, and thanks for the explanation on how the reducer works. Shows you I still have a bit to learn about optics. ;-) A question though about the...
Daniel I think it is always a little hard to judge blue halos. I think some stars really have them. The CLS filter should trend to reduce them because of its...
Hi All, As anyone who knows me would tell you, this is a rare event. I am an HAlpha junkie & I really don't image much in LRGB at all. I'm a little nervous...
Hi Scott, Didn't see it as a negative comment at all. Actually, I'm really glad you're pointing all these things out, as it should improve my images (I hope)....
Hi, Yes, or better still it is probably due to my lack of experience in LRGB processing... but I'm working on it. Thanks for commenting!! Matt ... From:...
You're trying to apologise for that!! It's a beautiful image...ok, there are a few halos, but you've gone really deep and the detail is superb. Nice one Matt. ...
Hi, Sorry for the trouble but after getting some good advice on this image concerning color balance and halos I have made what I believe to be significant...
Matt I am not a imager but only a visuel observer. Now the image looksmuch much better. But as a visual observer I would say , the image could need a bit...
