Still testing the new rig...I suspect I have a few problems to resolve: spiderwebs in the OTA baffle, the field flattener probably needs a good clean, camera mounting orthogonality (its a large chip) needs to be nailed....and sadly, still no filters....hence luminance only (thin cloud wandered through as well)
The picture seems to be in the right place according to the link, but I can only view it when I download it from the hyper link and do a right click save as, after I navigate to the parent directory which is http://www.atscope.com.au/BRO/images/nb/
The picture Peter is referring to is etaSTxRC20.jpg in that directory.
yeah Peter, nice pinpoint stars in the center. That chip sure covers some estate there at that FL. Will be extra nice when you square things up. That would be a fiddly and lengthy procedure I suspect!
cheers Gary
Pretty damned awesome FOV given the focal length of the scope.. The joys of CCD Real Estate!
Image looks the goods.. Obviously a work in progress, as is the setup... No doubt you'll get it sorted... Given your setup, I would imagine the only ways to organise CCD orthogonality would be to shim up the threaded connectors yes?
I bet it was nice to have some fresh data... We've all been a little starved for clear skies of late..
Doh! sorry...saved the page incorrectly to the server. The link should be fine now if you refresh the page.
Yep...it's a nice chip to be sure, but with CFWX fitted its something of a behemoth...and pushes the corrected field of the RC....infact I don't think it's fully corrected (humm....I wonder if the missus would notice the change to a 16"RC with 100mm FFC....)
That would look about as silly in your AP155 as my 8300 setup looks in my 80/480..
As for the missus.. Try and sneak it past her I reckon... The 16" would be a nice new toy!! Only problem I can foresee is the day that the truck rocks up to drop off a massive shipping crate, The Mrs may wonder "Whats inside the box dear?" At which point, You'd likely be dead..
Got me tossed. The code looks good. Works on my PC's & Mac. Anyone else having the same problem?
Yes I did too. It won't open in PS, or IE7/8 - the JPG header is truncated. Some program will open it but it's not consistent across the board. You need to delete the file on the server then reload it then re-save it as a JPEG file. Don't overwrite the old one. Just delete it first.
Really nice image Peter.
These bigger land grabbing sensors, are huge.
The camera looks and images beautifully, and i hear you need a pilots license to be able use all its goodies inside .
