Description

We seem to be having a bit of a run of clear spells at night-time at the moment, in lots of areas within the UK. Good news! Here is my latest effort, this time running the 130EDT scope at a slightly wider field of view, using the flattener - reducer, thus resulting in a f ratio of 5.53. I wanted to try a few things with this camera, to see how it fairs with shorter subs - so I went for 2 minutes this time. With a QE of a presumed 90%, I believe it is capable of much even at such short exposure lengths... [I might even try some 1 minute subs at some point]. Anyway, I took 82 subs of luminance, 14 reds, 14 greens and 15 blues. This gives an imaging time of 4 hours and 10 minutes. Thanks everyone! Have a good night....
