Hi Doug & Paul

To reduce complexity, I’m going to proceed on the basis of just using White LED’s initially, and basically suck-it-and-see. I don’t have the smarts or software to model an LRGB system, nor do I have any prior knowledge or experience to base future results upon.

So, I’m going to prototype a White LED unit and take Clear and RGB Flat Fields through the ST7E & CFW-8A and just see what happens.

When I expose the ST7E through the Clear and RGB filters respectively, I’ll make a note of the exposure time required to gather around 20,000 ADU’s (my full reading is around 58,000). I’ll post the results when completed and this may lead to modifications or a complete re-design. Oh for some empirical evidence of the correct path to follow!

Cheers

Dennis
