Description

i've had a new Lunt 40mm/ BF600 for about a month.

Finally managed to get everything working to enable  fulll disk imaging with a  2x Barlow reduced in length to decrease the magnification
down to about 1.6x. The full disk then sits comfortably in the 174mm sensor.
The image scale is around 2 arc seconds per pixel.

Big thanks to everyone in the AB Lunt 40mm forum thread most especially  Tom Harnish.

Captured with SharpCap Pro, seeing trigerred capture.
5ms exposure, best 200 frames, gain 0, calibrated with a flat.
Analysis software: AutoStakkert!, ImPGG and PixInsight. All the software is awesome - thanks to everyone involved.
