Description

As a resume after a successful nebula season with my new Atik camera and the Sony ICX 694 chip, I can at least say, it was worth it in comparison to my old SVX-H9.

Never had a result like this from my living room. Running with 1,6"/pix on my 0,6 reducer I'm able to cut the loss during bad seeing from my windowsill down to half. More pixel do seem to work.

So, goal achieved. I've established a functional deep space image rig in my living room window. ;-)

Of course it's more like a meridian telescope, due to the restricted field of view, but since one third of the sky rotates past my window during the year, all I'll need is more patience.

Melotte 15, the ap's classic. And a very thankful target for light polluted skies due to it's high surface brightness.
