Hi Marc
Here is an inverted image with the Mewlon 180, ASI174MM and TeleVue x2 Powermate at an effective focal length of 4320mm at F24 unguided
I used Firecapture (FC) and this image is a blend of two AVI’s as follows:
- 200 frames at 300ms exposure, Gain=300, Gamma=50
- 50 frames at 5 secs exposure, Gain=275, Gamma=50
I think that the Default Gain setting in FC is 200, so I increased it for these images. I generally leave the Gamma at the default=50.
The final image has been heavily processed to blend the two images from the AVI’s to reveal the Trap and components A through I1 and I2.
The ASI174MM has 5.86um pixels so you should get wider separation with the ASI120MM 3.75um pixel pitch. More pixels in the gaps as it were!
Looking forward to more from the Mewlon 210!
Cheers
Dennis
