Description

Taken over two nights, 31OCT-01NOV 2021.
All frames shot through an Optolong L-Pro in addition to filter used (really only effects the G channel).
This was a test of self-designed tertiary baffling inside of the primary baffle tube.
After watching this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=nHuLrYe-oik&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR0qnkaDjmi7sQyanoFfhWl-6uVmHRmF-T9PUt5AV3z5pB7ZgylqR-HXyGM I finally understood why flat frames never worked correctly with my GSO-clone RC telescope, and decided to 3D print baffles to fit inside of my primary baffle tube.
I feel like it worked well.  There are some flat frame subtraction errors in the right corners, but they might be the result of shooting half my frames with 14 baffles in place one night and 18 baffles in place the second night after they had finished printing.
