Wonderful stuff

My new QHY IMX678 based camera arrived today.....if it produces data that is
of similar calibre (i.e. awesome ) I'll be over the moon.

Again, excellent stuff Maurice.

Thanks Peter..
I've just seen your most recent SHG effort & it looks great.
You have taken leaps forward in just a few days.. well done.

Cheers Jeff.

The contrast is due to the extremely narrow wavelength range sampled by the SHG. With a 2400l/mm grating and say a 200mm fl collimating lens its about 0.05A/pixel. Far narrower than your average Etalon offers..
