Mewlon splits Jabbah in 4/10 seeing!

Hello,

Last night looked promising to start with, but never quite delivered on that promise. The seeing just never quite settled down; everything looked like it was being viewed through a pool of shallow water. I should have given up and gone to bed, but the combination of the Mewlon 180 and DMK offset some of the seeing effects, which were mostly 4/10. As a comparison, I’d have certainly packed up with the C9.25 and ToUcam.

Here is a heavily de-bloomed and de-convolved image of Jabbah, or Nu Sco. According to SkyTools, A & B are only 1.3 arc secs apart.

The left panel is a screen copy from SkyTools, with the Mewlon image on the right.

Cheers

Dennis

Well done Dennis.

What sky?????? I set up at about 5 oclock, selected my easterly star to drift on at 6:30 and in came the cloud. It was still there at 5 oclock this morning.

Of course it is beautiful now

Great work ... as always, Dennis.

Really happy that you are happy with the Mewlon.

They do look like very nice scopes.

Hi Dennis,
great scope the Mewlon for sure. Good choice.
Could you post an unconvolved image so we can see how well it split the double's??.... conditions aside and noted.
Just for interests sake is all.

Cheers
Rich

Jabbah raw frame

Hi Rich

Here is the output from Registax, before the heavy de-blooming and de-convolution in Maxim DL.

Cheers

Thanks for that Dave,
very nicely split indeed!

Looks like she's got great optics as we would expect from Takahashi.
@ F12 plus 3xs barlow, F36, looking good.

cheers
Rich
