Hi everyone,
Has been awhile since I have posted any images as I have been busy getting the bugs out of my new setup. With lots of bad weather and only a little clear skies with mainly horrid seeing its taking longer than I first thought.
But I am getting close to doing a full imaging run as soon as weather permits..
Guiding is now very solid and all is tracking well even with the GM-8 loaded to capacity.....13.5kg total weight.
Replaced the Astigmatic secondary which was a real headache with a nice 1/8 Pyrex secondary, Thanks Phil.
Only one thing left to sort out now and that is I am getting some coma in the corners still with the MPCC...
Collimation looks good with the GSO collimator? so I am a bit stumped why it is still showing? the coma looks quiet even without the coma corrector..
Any advice on this would be very appreciated!..
Anyway here is a picture of new setup and a guided 4min shot of good old M42...Straight from the camera with nothing done other than resizing/converting for posting..
Seeing was a bit crappy but can`t do much about that..
cheers and thanks for looking!
Gary
