Hi All, apart from the appalling weather I've been a little less prolific of late as I've been getting the hang of a new DMK firewire camera and motorised RGB filter wheel combo. After a few cloudy night dry-runs and frustration with the 4X powermate with the extra weight etc, I got my first clear sky shots last night with the 2.5x powermate. This is just the first one I processed, there may be better or maybe not - seeing was pretty poor at 3-4/10 with occasional lapses to 1/10 (in answer to Lester's recent question, a DMK wont fix poor seeing!
).
I'm pretty happy with the combo though (looking forward to taking delivery of a flip mirror which will make things easier with the 4x powermate). Reckon I'm starting to get the hang of settings and running 35sec each colour at 30fps is working out OK. Struggling a little with colour balancing, but guess that will come. Anyway, at least it's a run on the board
- just need some average seeing or better would be nice
