Testing out the Field Flatener

Recommended Posts

Tested the new to me FF tonight.


The seeing was pretty awful but I just had to try it out.


Had a go at a couple of targets.


 


First up is the Crescent Neb.


 


GT81 with the field flatener.


SX MX916


HA filter


 


11 Subs at 300 seconds.


Captured and Stacked in Maxim


Very rough lick in PS 6.

Thanks folks.


I will have another go tonight if it stays clear.


I am very pleased with the results of last nights test.


The odd shaped stars in the NGC 981 was caused by clouds messing up the guiding so with a bit of luck and a clear sky tonight's effort will be better.
