Hi All,
I spent the entire night working on getting my new Robofocus calibrated with FocusMax. Here is one of the test images I compiled. 5 exposures @ 10 minutes per exposure, taken at 3:30am (it had just cleared a palm tree in my yard). I am just scratching the surface with the JMI NGF-S/Robofocus/FocusMax combination, but so far, this is a phenominal setup.
Image details:
Meade 12" LX200 at F/6.3
ST-7ME running at -15 degrees C
Dark subtracted and aligned in Maxim DL
Sigma combined
Level and curves adjusted in PhotoShop 7.0
Comments/suggestions always welcomed.
