I installed my scope over the weekend at siding spring in the itelescope OBS. This is a rough test pic.
M75 Lum on a new STXL6303E camera, RCOS 10” OTA and PME.
The image is a single 15min sub (bin 2), darks applied and curved. Looks pretty clean, happy with that.
Its not a great pic, blown to hell, but the killer is, its 15min UNGUIDED at 2400mm FL !!!. PEC was OFF !.
Brad did a 300 point map for me and Protrac was on. He also tweaked the Tpoint terms. I have never had it set up this well before!
.
We got polar alignment within 30arcsecs, not great, but seems to be more than sufficient.
It was also unfocused, I forgot to, the OTA sat in my car for 6hrs driving up there since the last focus run. RCOS make em sturdie ;-).
Pete was also very helpfull and a great host
.
Im chuffed at how well the install went
looking forward to proper pics.
Cheers,
Fred
