The Big Prom (Animation) 04-08-2022

[Martin_S]

I'm a bit late to the party, as I went out west to do some dark sky Astronomy. So when I got home I hastily set up my ED72 with my Combo Quark to catch this great prom.

I still haven't eliminated the Telecentric Barlow reflections when imaging proms, any suggestions for fixing this would be most appreciated.

I'm thinking of getting a TZ4, but I'm not sure if this Barlow is free from reflections.

Meanwhile enjoy the show.

Yes I am, I have a TZ4 on the way hopefully that will help cut back on the background glare,

Awesome animation Martin. Just curious, what is the time span of the animation?

It will be interesting to see whether the TZ4 does the trick. Please post your conclusion when you receive it.
