Description

The conditions this evening were very poor, with a lot of low cloud, so I was primarily experimenting with where in the optical train to locate the lens from my new Baader barlow ready for better conditions. I thought I'd consigned all the videos from the session to the trash, but when checking items to back up I found them still lurking on the hard drive, so I had a look at them.
I'd started out trying with the Baarder barlow lens screwed into the end of the nosepiece, giving F21, so no better than I'd get with my x2 TV PM, so I then screwed it inside the nosepiece close to the sensor for F18, which was more what I was after. Neither of those amplifications were usable for the conditions, but I did capture a single run without the barlow, which was just about usable, so this is the result from that. It's the best 6000 frames (~22%) from a 6 min SER, captured at 13ms (76 fps).
