Thanks Martin,
I like imaging at f4 - it's much faster.
I want to get a good image in less than one night and maybe
even get 2 good images in one night.
Yes - carbon fibre Newts hold collimation better than the metal tube Newts
and they also hold focus without changing for hours on end -
in fact they can hold focus all night.
Good luck with the new CF tube.
I just finished my 2nd wooden block as per the pics.
I'm doing it slowly at my own pace.
One thing that worries me about my design is that it's so
simple why didn't someone else do it before?
is there a problem with it? - e.g -
will it affect the focus or the guiding?
A 2 axis closed loop system as per PHD2 guiding may not work
as well with unknown spring constants causing a change in the dynamic damping -
if anyone knows - please chime in?
In any case I'll soon find out - in fact it's a good scientific experiment.
cheers
Allan
