3.2mm BO/TMB Planetary ep First Light
I set up my gear and straight after work to let my 'scope cool, with only around 20% cloud cover. Had a shower etc, and by the time I got outside, there was 95% cloud cover
. Too typical!!!
Went back inside to wait for a break in the clouds. As I was almost ready to pack it in, a hole appeared in the clouds around Crux.
In the 3.2mm, Alpha Crucis resolved beautifully into it's two main components. The wide fov makes high power work easy compared to my 4mm GSO plossl (which looks like a peephole by comparison). The image was sharp from the edge of fov, well, as sharp as poor-to-average seeing would allow. Crux is fairly low in the sky at this latitude, at this time of year. No false colour was noted.
Cheers
