Description

First image with some new hardware: CEM60 mount and a ES ED80 refractor. The CEM60 great while the ED80 has some issues with chromatic aberration. In spite of being a APO triplet, I was dissiponted to see some issues with blue stars. I was hoping for a bit better than this, but I guess you get what you pay for. The ED80 was 20% of a TAK FSQ-85. I'm going to experiment with a "fringe killer" filter to see if I can reduce the CA. This was shot at around f/4 using a CCD667 focal reducer, which may of enhanced the CA problem. I also layered a little bit of Ha into the red channel and may try for some more subs and add them in later. L 13x800s, RGB 5x450s 2x2 binned, Ha 3x900s.
