M20-m57-m83 10"-sct F 6.3

[FOOTPRINT]

Hi All,
Had one more clear night after all the rain and cloud, so results herewith, all Pix. are cropped, All are 4 x 6 Min. Exp. at ISO-800, DF removed, taken with the LX200 10" sct + F-6.3 Focal Reducer, guided using an ED80 + MX7C, M57 is a really small object (70 x 150 arc. Sec.) for this setup, but the colour came out well.


cheers................Jim

Very Nice trio Jimmy and a good nights work!

Nice to be able to get all colours in one shot, I'm jealous! :sadeyes:

Can't help but think that you could get better resolution outa that gear though...?:confuse3: How do you focus?

Thanks for the look

Mike

Hi All,
Thanks for the comments, and MIKE, Focus is done using a 2x magnifier thru the Camera viewfinder, I have DSLR Focus but find it a bit slow, I feel that with the 10" sct resolution is limited using this Camera, the ED80 produces better results as regards Focus, The 10" sct is better at F-5.6 (focal reducer) than at F10, but in either case the colour is fantastic, much better than I used to get with the MX7C Camera.

cheers......Jim
