Maksutov precision doubt

Posted By Andre Moutinho
I have read in an article that the maximum Strehl ratio of a 30% obstruction system is 0.810 or 1/3 pv. I have also seen
some Intes mak certificates stating a 1/7 precision. How can it be possible?
Thanks,
Andre

Focusing with a ST7E

Posted By Andre Moutinho
Hi, I am using a st7e of our local observatory but I though the focusing process very difficult. The image takes a lot of seconds to be transfered from the ccd camera to the computer. And the focus knob of a c8 have a lot of turns!!! So the whole focusing process seems to be very annoying. Finally I always have to use an ocular to find an object and then the ccd must be focused all over again.
Thanks,
Andre

Toucam pro 740K or Toucam II 840K

Posted By Andre Moutinho
Hi,
What is the difference between these 2 webcam ? I intend to do planetary astrophotography, but I don't know which to buy. Does the Toucam II 840K have drivers for Windows 98 ?? I know the toucam pro has.
Thanks,

IR filter for planetary astrophotography

Posted By Andre Moutinho
Is it worth using this filter ? Do images taken with the IR filter is
much better than those taken without this filter ?

Thanks,
Andre

start testing

Posted By Andre Moutinho
Hi,

I was star testing my scope made with a 12.5" f/4.7 mirror. The in-focus
rings were very defined. But I almost could differentiate the out-focus rings and also there
was a beyond outer ring haze. Is it normal ?

Thanks,
Andre
