Second Light Askar V (this time at 600mm 7.5FL) Carina

[CoolhandJo (Paul)]

Well I must say. In all my years of imaging I've never seen a 2.5 hours of data turn out like this! I've tested the Askar V at 270mm F4.5 which I was really happy with here https://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/...d.php?t=208726.

But last night I took a meager 2.5 hours of data on the Carina at 600mm f7.5

I think the optics on the Askar V are good

Once I take some more data Ill post a high res but for now this is it!

How cool is the Askar V! all these scopes for the price of one!

For 2.5hrs - this is mint! In fact, this is mint regardless of exposure time, but surprisingly good for such short integration!

Looking forward to more!

Alex. i know right! Like I said, in all my years of imaging I couldn't believe the result from 2.5 hours!! honestly its the scope because I use the same 533 MC pro on othe doublets in the past and its definitely not the camera.

For what its worth here is total 8.5 hours of data (thanks to the clear night last night)

I have got to get myself a dual nb filter so I can use these clear moonlit skies.

That's awesome ��
