Image of the day

Hmmm,what an expensive lesson in backfocus requirements :C

With the right focuser it may just work but as you pointed out,that is another very large expense.

At this point why not try moving the primary as far up as you can with the collimation screws,with the chip size in the ST2000 you don't need to have a huge corrected image circle,it may be good enough for the camera?

Sorry this looks like it may not work out for you Floyd sad

Gorgeous image Roland!

The detail is remarkable and the stars so tiny!
This object really takes on a different look in your high res image,a bit eerie and ghostly.

One more time M16

I think it looks good Charles.
It has some purple around the edges on my monitor too but the center portion and the Eagles head look great smile

It looks like you have some field curvature,I also would not be surprised if you do have some image scale differences using the big SCT,there are programs that will scale and align your data at the same time.

Did you use all 3 minute subs on this?
