Hi all,
I received my Astro-Physics 0.67x CCD Telecompressor to replace my
Meade f/6.3 reducer not matched for my SBIG ST-10XME CCD chip.
I decided to test it on M-27 nebula.
I decided to test too my new CCD filter : an Astronomik 13nm OIII filter.
I realized several tests with my Astronomik 13nm Ha filter and the OIII.
My conclusion on the AP 0.67x CCD reducer : It works very well on my Meade 12" UHTC SCT OTA. The AP adapters for this reducer are very nice and very well made for the correct distance between the reducer and my ST-10XME CCD chip (not the case with the Meade f/6.3 reducer).
The stars in the field of view are really better that with the Meade reducer.
Not a great image but you can see my pleasant result on my website at :
http://www.astrosurf.com/ccdaltazao/immonth.html
I am very impatient to take a very long exposure with the RGB information.
If several amateurs were interested, I can confirm the AP 0.67x CCD reducer is better and It works with a Meade SCT.
Best Regards,
Florent
