First light Flea3 - Aristarchus and Letronne/Gassendi
EQ6, SPX350 F22 with 3xTV Barlow, Flea3, Astronomik IR742nm filter.
Had a try with the tiny new cam in 8bit mode as I was unsure of 16bit as I only had SER option with no AVI so I assume this is what I would use with 16bit. I think with the Moon 16bit may be overkill?
In IR I was amazed how bright this long focal length image was in IR especially near the terminator so as seeing was average I imaged with the IR filter and got pretty decent results considering the breeze moving things occassionally - clearly better than DMK!!!
I had a go at Neptune at F4.5 and got Triton easily but will the Flea3 do long exposure for Uranus moons, don't do this much but just wondered?
Thanks, John.
