Hi everyone,
Before I start "stripping down" the imaging train to try and determine the root cause of the reflections I am getting with my QHY8L, I thought I would post a couple of examples of the issue I am having, in case someone may suggest where to start.
The imaging train consists of a Skywatcher Black Diamond ED120, with a Moonlite crayford refractor focuser, to which the QHY8L is connected, via a 2" male/camera adapter, together with the "centre and tilt adjustment ring", as supplied with the QHY8L.
Upon inspection of the 2" camera adapter, it is black but glossy. Not sure if this would have an impact, however, I did not seem to have issues when imaging with a DSLR.
As can be seen from the photos below (please disregard the processing
), the reflection seems to be of a significant diameter, so I am not sure if this means anything. In fact, there seems to be two almost perpendicular to one another. I am at a bit of a loss to where to start
, so look forward to any tips!!
Thanks,
Daniel
