Was trying to figure out the Metal Back distance for my Tak FS-60c and Sky90 reducer last night
Some Technical difficulties with Maxim in the beginning of the night where my Sequence only yielded me a portion of the image. It seams when I set it up in the set-up tab there is a pulldown for Full Frame. Never saw that before nor do I remember touching it but it was not set on full frame. So lost many hours early on since I set up for another image and left the observatory.
Oh well only time lost

6 x 1200 sec 6nm Ha filter
SBIG 10xe
Tak FS-60c new shorter version
Sky 90 Redcuer/Flattener

Thought that I had the right metal back distance but looks as if it is still off some. Need to play with it more. Stars on the edges are not round at all. Opinions?


Thank you

Took this image two nights ago after playing with some software, the mount, and then at 1:30am decided to image in Ha.
This is taken with the Modified Aquarium Chiller hooked up, no secondary cooler running. Ambient temp was 61 humidity 89 %
After 50 min settled down to -25 for the images. 90% cooling. Use to be lucky if I got to -10 in this temp last year. Since I would not run it over 90% for fear of a the ambient temp changing briefly going higher and making the image warmer.

This was taken with MaximV4 and dithering used, and seperate guider. Still learning this software as anyone who has it more than likely is too

SBIG 10xe
Modified Aquarium Chiller
-25 degrees
7 x 1200 sec Ha 6nm Astroden filter

This was taken at WSP 2004, and the post that I had made of this image was done in the field there. Having some time I just went back and re-did it in photoshop. Hope you enjoy
