Description

After the first lights at 400mm, first light with focal reducer x0,7 on the askar FRA400 : 280mm focal length at F3.9


The moon was full so it was a narrowband night: I went for IC1396 that fits completely in an APS-C sensor
SHO: 12x29x12x 5mn
RGB: 10x10x10x 1mn for stars colour

I am very happy with this new equipement for widefield acquisition, plug ang play with a good focal plane quality, obviously not perfect at F3.9 but good tradeoff between quality and price.
