Its the observatory that makes the difference Allan. I can actually make some use of the camera and scope now.

You have to be happy with this.

I am Doug. I'm waiting on a good night (aren't we all) to finally get the collimation nailed down. You're right about the image scale. It has opened up a whole new world of objects.

Plenty of the globs are showing as is SUCD....plenty of detail.

Thanks Carl, yes i was surprised at what did come out in the finally count. But I'm itching to have another go and see how much more I can get.

Both images show some nice depth to them.

Thanks Ric

What is the size of the chip in your camera?


Thanks.

Ross.

Thanks Ross. The combo works out something like this; SXVF-H9 = 1392x1040 with 6.4 micron pixels. With the VC200L and an image scale of 0.68 "/pix and a fov of 11.7x15.7, according to CCDCalc. I should do a plate solve one day to actually work out the real FOV etc
