Hi all,
I yesterday picked up a 8" Newt at F4 and was eager to have a crack at something to see how it performed vs my ED80.
Processing in PS after a stack in DSS was only done very quickly as my kids are driving me mad!
The OTA needs collimating, i have ordered my collimator so hopefully i get it tomorrow, at it also needs a Coma corrector. I plan to purchase the Baader MPCC as soon as time and funds allow
It may be slightly out of focus also, i needed to order a spacer as the DLSR at prime and focuser all the way back still needs a bit more room.
Image was taken on Heq5Pro mount unguided, 10 x 60second exposures with 10 darks on a Cannon 450D unmodified @ ISO800. Only 10 minutes of data!
Any comments/critiques appreciated. Thanks for looking.
