With the rotten weather we've been getting, I don't know when I'll get the needed Luminance frames......



Greg, the telescope is a custom 300mm RiDK f/8 unit from Officina Stellare, and the camera is a Moravian G4-9000. (The KAF 9000 has never been very popular, probably because of its RBI characteristics. However, it has a high QE for a CCD, 110,000e- full well, and 10e- RN. Pixels are 12micron)



The system resolution of 1"/px is a good match for the seeing I get at the Macedon site.

Wow, that is a serious scope and camera combo. I nearly got a Proline 9000 once. Do you dither to get rid of RBI or use the IR flushing or nothing?

Greg.
