Hi all,

Here are a few CCD images from my Oz visit. This one is a combination of 20 3-minute images. STL1001E with a Baader 6nm Ha filter. 5" f/5 refractor at prime focus.

Interesting to see how modern technology performs with a telescope over 50 years old!

Cheers,

Maurice

Nice photos.

How do you like the 1001E chip? I have one of those in my AP6E, and it's not bad, except for a bit more dark current than newer chips.

Your 5" f/5 is pretty much the same as my Orion 120ST....you got some impressive detail, so I might have to try a combo like that with my equipment.

thanks for sharing!
