Description

Test and debug of a dual imaging system comprising AT65Q + 294MCP, and Redcat51 + 183MMP.  OAG guided on the RC51.  Acquisition via ASIAir Pro and Plus linked by a Netgear usb powered wifi hub.  ASI Plus via ethernet to the wifi hub, and Pro in station mode connected by wireless.  The scopes were shimmed to the same sky position by using fine tuning camera spacers on the vixen mounts.   The RC51+183MM provide about 30% larger FOV then the AT65Q + 294MC combo but both have quite similar pixel spacing nearing 2"/px.   This is in preparation for a dark sky field night chasing dark nebula
