Antares and companion, Brisbane, Sunday 30th Jun 2019

[Dennis]

Last night, I used Antares as a target to set up and align my system whilst troubleshooting a few problems.

Although the live, on-screen image of Antares appeared multi-lobed, displaying a reasonable amount of scintillation, Autostakkert!3 and Registax managed to resolve the diffraction rings around the primary with a hint of a diffraction ring around the dimmer secondary.

This is 500 frames from a 1,000 frame AVI.

Cheers

Great separation Dennis. You must have got some decent seeing.

Very nice Dennis

Thanks Marc and Stuart, I appreciate your comments.

This was taken during a problem resolution episode where my Notebook kept freezing then shutting FC down, which is a shame as the seeing was at its best then.

By the time I found a solution and applied it, the seeing had come off the boil… c'est la vie.

Cheers

Dennis
