I had asked last week about the back spacing of the Sky90 reducer to try it out with my 6303. I made up an adapter yesterday and got some clear sky last night...
Things came out nice. It is a good idea to mount the guider atop the ring holding the sky90 to avoid as much flexure as possible but why not use the internal...
Is it your guess that the spacing is not quite right on the FR? It appears that you are seeing the effects of field curvature. The stars near the corners of...
Thanks Richard, Guider: I guess I could go either way with this but it was just a 2 sec setup how I have it so no big deal. I removed the 2" nose piece of the...
HI I didn't use any minimizing filters....i did run median filter over this and ran it though neat image.......i didn't quite have very accurate darks....the...
When I used the clamshell tube holder with my FSQ, I got nothing but flexure when I mounted the STL external guider head on it. -jg -----Original Message-----...
John what did you have on it for a lens? I am not having any problems in that dept, very ridged, the eFinder weighs nothing. Michael Downing www.astroden.com...
John brings up a good point. I ditched my clamshells altogether and bought Parallax rings with the AP footprint on them. I got much better results and was able...
A50mm f/5 mini Borg finder. But, the real problem as I see it is the Sky 90 in the clamshell. Try some 30 and 40 minute exposures on different parts of the...
I shot this last night along with some test stuff I shot 3min subs x 4 for each channel SII-HA-OIII 36mins total Sky90 STL-6303 on Paramount ME 50% view ...
I am pleased to announce that CCD Commander v1.3 is now available! Continuing my support for complete multi-target unattended imaging, I have added a host of...
Man this little Tak is cool, the amount of data it grabs in such a short time is great I added the SII and OIII to the HA from the first light this morning ...
Oh that's a classic line Richard, You had me here at my desk in laughing away Thank you, Michael Downing www.astroden.com <http://www.astroden.com/> _____ ...
thanks for keeping us up to date Matt. It is good to see alternatives to the dominant players without competition we pay higher prices and get inferior...
Makes sense but like I said I don't think I am having any problems. Do you see something in my images that made you bring up this point? I don't think I would...
Exposure time is going to depend a lot on the background ADU you are going after. Most likely you will not reach sky background with a narrowband filter. So my...
I apologize to any/all who may receive the cross posts on the various lists, but we want to make sure we don't miss anyone who may find this of interest. ... ...
HI i'm getting used to this new camera a bit more...and was playing around with the previous image i shot... here's the reprocess....full size 800k file ...
John, From your lack of an answer to my question I assume your comment of "The real problem as I see it is the sky90 in the clamshell" had nothing to do with a...
The reprocessed version is significantly better Jamie. Nice improvements. Mike ... Jamie <rhoowl@...> wrote: HI i'm getting used to this new camera a...
Jamie, Your reprocess looks a lot sharper and more "natural". I am curious as to your experience with your YR camera, as it seems to be the best deal in the...
