First try out of focal reducer lens supplied by bert
Bert kindly supplied me with a 13,5 cm focal length achromatic lens to use as a focal reducer with my Lx90. Tried different positions for lens but found best spot to be 3-4 cm inside the visual back. Took pics with 350d with moon in the sky of "the Ghost of Jupiter"( stacking 30sx2+60sx2+90sx2) ," Eta caina nebula (stacking 60sx2+90sx2)" & 'The Sombrero Galaxy M104 (stacking 60sX2+90sx3)". All were at iso 1600 ,dark and flat subtracted in astromix and cropped and resampled in photoshop. M104 was filtered in neat image. I am still experimenting and am only using medium jpeg captures. I realise all the problems with jpegs and will start taking raws when i am satisfied with the equipment.
