philjay Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Finally managed to pull this together. Its noisy etc because conditions weren't right for lunar at F15, atmospherics and poor elevation but I wanted to play with the big Mak 180 on my HEQ5 and try out a few things, (also give the Mak an outing, its been in the cupboard too long). Mak180 with IMGOH camera at F15. 6 pane mosaic stitched in CS3 photomerge Very grainy and noisy but its my first of the season and good for a laugh Smithysteve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catman161 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Nice one Phil. I was looking at this exact area last night. I attempted imaging with the ASI120MC however could not get any kind of good focus. I have a feeling that when I changed focusers and then changed back to the original and messed about with the secondary mirror spacing in between all of that, that something is still not quite rights spacing wise between the secondary and primary. More tinkering required before o can get it back to delivering the views it showed before. I now wish I had never changed focusers in the fist place-I guess everyone is wise in retrospect. Lovely picture though. Conditions last night were not good at all at my end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
