finally had a clear night to test out the new MPCC
well it was a pretty dodgy test really, i couldn't be bothered drift aligning so i just went with short exposures but the coma was so severe in my last images that its pretty clear its working well.

It looks like you are making good use of your clear skies

I can't see an image?

[citivolus (Ric)]

There was one, I don't think I'm insane

[monoxide]

whoops, i dont know what happened there

Lovely image Tj, that one has turned out very nice indeed.

Cheers

thanks Ric,
the quality of the raw data was much better than anything i have had before even though the exposures were very short, the MPCC/UHC-S is definately worth the money from my point of view.
coma in a few of my previous images took on a fisheye lens type effect and it looks to be almost completely eliminated now.

i have re-processed a higher res version here:

nice composition and lots of detail

I can see very little coma there. The MPCC is brilliant isnt it, eliminating coma far more effectively then older more costly coma correctors. Even works well in my 6 inch f3.6 Schmidt Newtonian.

sure is, its got me very interested in finding the visual adapter for it
