Popular Post +Graham Posted February 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2022 This was a test run for a new set up I am trying. I cobbled together the Atik 414 EX coupled to an old manual filter wheel I had kicking about and put them on the back of the 10 inch RC. I just wanted to see what the results would be regarding image scale ect. I must say I think I might have found the new set up with regards the RC. The resulting image is full frame with just a tiny bit of cropping to get rid of the bad edges after aligning the 4 sets of images. The focusing was a bit on the soft side and it needs a lot more data but as it was just a test I am not too concerned about that. Next item on the shopping list is an EFW to cut out all the hassle of changing filters and misaligned subs. Atik 414 EX 10 inch RC 11 X 300 second subs in L,R,G,B Captured and stacked in Maxim Compiled in PS 6.
