Hi all,
I was able to image from beside the 2.12m scope at the peak of San Pedro Martir observatory in the sierras of Baja 2 nights ago. The seeing was quite good, so much so that I imaged with my 4X's powermate for the 1st time to advantage over my trusty 2.5X's. I used a green true tech filter, but I probably should have stayed with the red as the seeing was not quite good enough. The problem was it was quite gusty and most of my sequences turned out to be unprocessable (is that a word?).
This one of the Hadley rille was slightly salvageable but I only was able to use align points on the central part due to the wind. I very happy with the resolution.
scope-18" Starmaster, 2-2 Lumenera Infinity, TT green filter, 4X's powermate, 250 frames stacked out of 838.
I'll have to go back and try again!
Mike
