Description

I'm quite liking this sensor! Who would have thought a 714mm scope could be "wide field", but here it is: just about 3 degrees square! After a rare break in the cloudy weather I was able to sneak in just a bit of imaging time, but wanted to compare this setup to my redcat setup which has a similar field of view. Needless to say, I *much* prefer the Stellarvue setup, the amount of detail, intricate wispiness, and what can only be described as "drama" really stand out in this image to me. I can't wait for the weather to behave so I can finally get back to imaging deeper!

I do find it funny that the diffraction spikes (which were all naturally occurring) are all over the place. I think the reason for the ones on the left being a different direction than those on Sadr are due to the pickoff for the OAG being on that side of the sensor. But that doesn't explain the third other direction of the spikes on HIP 100501/HD 194193. I count no fewer than 4 primary diffraction spike directions; interesting!
