The Big Prom (Animation) 04-08-2022

[Martin_S]

I'm a bit late to the party, as I went out west to do some dark sky Astronomy. So when I got home I hastily set up my ED72 with my Combo Quark to catch this great prom.

I still haven't eliminated the Telecentric Barlow reflections when imaging proms, any suggestions for fixing this would be most appreciated.

I'm thinking of getting a TZ4, but I'm not sure if this Barlow is free from reflections.

Meanwhile enjoy the show.

Are you using flats?

Love the animation. Great stuff!!

[Martin_S]

Yes I am, I have a TZ4 on the way hopefully that will help cut back on the background glare,

Awesome animation Martin. Just curious, what is the time span of the animation?

[Martin_S]

Andrew, the animation was taken over 2hours.

It will be interesting to see whether the TZ4 does the trick. Please post your conclusion when you receive it.
