Couple critique suggestions from me.
1. I can see the image overlay in the top corners. Perhaps cropping the image a little just to remove this little distracting aspect.
2. the core looks a little burnt out to me. I like the detail surrounding it but cannot see the core well. (maybe just being picky forgive me if I am)
Other than that I wish I had an image this good of the lagoon at hi res. I would rather see a galaxy though with that kit.  |
Thanks Paul. I am in the middle of a redo. There are 60 minutes of luminance that were taken after collimation that then showed up the spacers were off under the bottom focuser plate. I pulled it apart and fixed it after that first hour and it was fine after that. So part of the image has this earlier faulty setup which I used. Perhaps I should've started again with only the new data. So the CCD inspector data would also be picking up that. Visually collimation seemed very close and not a noticeable error needing correction. But I don't know how much CCDI will pick up.
One things for sure the spacing between the corrector and the focuser is incredibly demanding of accuracy. These spacers were only about .2 or .3mm thick.
Luminance in the new version is stripped down to only the best 6 subs and it seems noticeably sharper (at least to me hehehe).
Greg.

Cheers JJ. There's always something new to conquer in this hobby. Part of its appeal.
