Testing the ZWO camera with the 12inMeade ACF
Just 12 x 20s in SharpCap. Stacked in IP and PS for high pass filter.
No colour enhancement needed.
Focus may be a bit soft, must get that bahtinov mask...

Wow Glenn. You got right in there didn't you :thumbsup:

I'd imagine a Bahtinov mask for a 12" would resemble a cars hub cap ! I thought the one I made for my 9.25 was big!

Great work Glenn !

Thanks, Ryan and Alex This pic is quite colour full for just a few seconds.

I had a Bahtinov mask for my 18inch and used it for my 16inch too.
Just not sure if I should persist with the FWHM measurement various programs give me versus the ease of use of the Bahtinov

I'm hoping to give M83 a try with this setup tonight. Guiding too.
Such a small FOV though...

Thanks for looking.
