First good test with Focal Extender ES

[jsmoraes (Jorge)]

Full Moon, but the sky was very clean.
Total frames for each AVI : 800 frames
Total used frames:200 frames

GSO 305 mm - ASI120MC - AS!2 - Wavelets Registax 6.0 - PS CS3 for 3 first images.

forth image: GSO 305 mm - ASI120MC + Barlow GSO ED 2x mode 1.5x - AS!2 - Wavelets Registax 6.0 - PS CS3

Last image:
It is hard compare images because there are difference of processing.I did only to have an idea about the possibility and performance of using Focal Expander ES 3x 1.25" and Barlow GSO ED 2x mode 1.5x 2".

Note: I have a doubt about the information in status bar of ASI120MC and SharpCap when capturing images:

1) it show two information: captured frames and dropped frames . What is the difference ? Why there are difference in amount of frames ?

2) manipulation of percentual of USB connection make change in the amount of capatured frames and dropped frames. Better set make dropped frames higher than captured frames. Why ?
