Popular Post +Stu Posted August 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 28, 2023 There was about an hour's gap in the clouds last night. Long enough to refocus my guide camera after reattaching the focuser, and do a test run with the GT81 + AA269CPROTEC with my IDAS NBZ nebular booster. Getting a smallish refractor has transformed my setup so it can be all wired up and ready to go, just needs dropping on the mount and plugging in. So much time saved! I'm really genuinely excited to get a proper run with this setup as the results i've got so far have surpassed my expectations already 🙂 Just 3x 600s with the gear previously mentioned. No calibration frames as it was more of a test than anything. Magellan Boy, +Ibbo, +Glafnazur and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magellan Boy Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Great image for only 30 minutes of exposure and no calibration frames. Great camera the 26C! +Stu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was eyeing up the 26C but couldn't quite stretch to it, I've got the 269C. I think they're along the same lines with a smaller sensor on the 269. First astro camera so very happy 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I evidently didn't spot the '9'. 🫢 Anyhow, great cameras. +Stu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
