First Light 10" f3.8 Astrograph
Hi back after a long absence , but finally have my new toy up and running ---sort off.
Just a quick post of the first photo from my home made Astrograph.
Features a 10" f3.8 Mark Suchting conical mirror FPI Protostar secondary spider and blacklite tube and a Clement focuser.
Photo is a single full frame unprocessed resized and converted to jpeg only 90sec shot from an unmodified Canon 50D DSLR camera and MPCC and no guiding on an EQ6PRO.
It was taken under a full moon and focus was off a bit but wanted to see how the MPCC works at F3.8.
I hope to get an ASA Keller .73x reducer corrector soon and EQmod working properly.
Mark Suchting is doing an F3.5 and F3.2 ,it will be interesting to see how they go.
Regards Mark
