Trapezium A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H & I, Sirius A & B, Full Moon

Hello,

With the return of my repaired EM200 Controller Box from Tak in Japan, my EM200 is now back up and running, so I gave it a test drive over the last couple of evenings.

The images are with the Tak Mewlon 180 F12 and Canon 5D Mk III either at the F12 (2160mm) prime focus or using a Tak 1.6x extender yielding F19.6 and 3456mm efl. The G, H & I stars can be made out in the F12 prime focus image which is a stack of 6 x 20 seconds.

Sirius A & B are straight out of the camera with no processing.

With the full-frame 5D Mk III the comatic stars at the edge of the filed were very apparent.

Cheers

Dennis
