Hello,

Image HERE (http://www.flickr.com/photos/12330269@N02/7982725525/in/photostream).

Another test with the RC-8 and the AP 0.75x Reducer, working as a 0.7x, in my GSO RC-8 f/8, making a 8" f/5.6 scope !!. The result as for FOV was amazing.

It is just missing to collimate the primary mirror of the RC-8 to fix the egg shapped stars on the corners as can be seen on the image.

I am very happy with this setup.

That's good!

That combination is working well, really like the star colours.

Cheers,

Works well! Is that the 27TVPH reducer?

Cheers,
Rick.

Hello,
Thank you very much to everyone for the kind comments.



Yes, that is the PN of the reducer. Now I have my RC full collimated, new observatory, etc... just awaiting for the weather's cooperation.

Best Regards,

Fernando

I have to say that has got to be one of the best images of this cluster I have seen. Fantastic work and thankyou for sharing it.
