STX16803 Test
Last week, my PW focus box was returned after repair on the same day that my STX16803 also came back after having a chamber recharge and sensor clean.
So I set up and waited for it to get dark - which always seems to take forever.
It was still too light to take some flats. So on a whim, I switched to Ha and banged off a few shots of the 3/4 moon. My thinking was to see if the sensor iced up (it didn't of course) and to check the focuser (which worked fine).
Here is the result - 0.1 s image binned x2 I think. Only processing is a spot of deconvolution in PI.
THis is just a screenshot not a true JPG so don't bother zooming.
I'm not a planetary imager by any means and there is doubtless a host of faults that can be picked. Its also the WRONG camera to use for planetary work - like driving a B Double semitrailer to do the grocery shopping - its a bugger to park! But I'm pleased with the result nevertheless.
