Advice Welcomed

Posted By gary c shrum

Hello Group,

Attached is 1-300sec of M42. I have 15 I would like to stack, but when I do all I get is black and white in DSS....do I have something set wrong in DSS?

Does focus or tracking seem alittle off?

1st time out with this set up

Celestron 80mm Onyx
TeleVue focal reducer
Canon XSi 450D
Piggybacked on a LX200
Guided by ST7

Do you see a streak or line on left side? any ideas on that?

Any advice welcome except to try Golf or Bowling

Thanks

Gary

E-160/flattner/DSLR

Posted By gary c shrum

This has the std flattner with a moonlite focuser and a DSLR (T adapter and 1 1/4 nose piece) I cannot reach focus for the camera. Attached is a pic of what I have all together.....Do I need another adapter?


Could it be that that camera requires a certain profile ? Does TAK specify the distance between the Reducers glass and the DSLR ? Is there an adapter listed somewhere to position the camera at the correct distance from the corrector/flattner lens?

Help...don't have much hair left to pull out
Thanks for any info
