8 f5 Newt Coma Star Test using Baader Mk3 CC
Although clear, conditions last night on the South Coast were poor but I wanted to test my Baader Mk3 coma corrector spacing on the 8 f5 newt
I had already proven my 6 f6 scope in Sydney earlier in the week with a spacing of 56mm sensor to coma corrector, coma free to edges
Picked a dense Star field near the Statue of Liberty Nebula and captured 8 x 5 minute dithered guided subs using the 56mm spacing
ZWOASI2600MC
PHD2 Guiding around 0.90 arc sec error
Processed this morning and coma is virtually eliminated from the corners
Pretty happy with a successful outcome with both scopes using the Baader Mk3 Coma corrector
Heres some images
Original version ( ignore the halo around the star , due to conditions)
Cropped versions in each corner
Thanks for looking
