Description

Imaging during a 68% Waxing Gibbous Moon. The sky was very bright to say the least.

Testing wide area with new Starlight SX 46 CCD camera and larger 50.8mm Astrodon filters. Hopefully will have my new SVX80 telescope by end of August or Sept. Will have a large sensor reducer flattener.

My current Stellarvue SV70T 2.5" reducer flattener is optimized for small sensors. This is working, but there's a bit of vignetting in the corners.

Also testing to see if the brighter stars(cropped) will blow out or have strange shapes with the CCD. My previous ZWO 1600 pro would produce fractals on bright stars in the Horsehaed Nebula.
