First test shot with the modded PST


Graham

Recommended Posts

Grabbed a couple of AVI's tonight when I got home from work to test the modified PST.


Pictures of the finished PST are in my thread.


 


Not ideal conditions to say the least as the cloud cover was pretty full on.


 


I think the scope is too bright for the QHY 5ll as I had to back off all the settings to virtually zero.


This is probably the reason for the banding on the disc. 


 


Two pics


 


main disc.


Outer rim with the flares.


 


Merged in PS6


 


Pretty ropey picture I admit but at least it proves the mod works and I can only hope to improve.
