Brantuk Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Wow Dave that's a very nice rig. Is that a "Fastar" (or HD equivalent) in there ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfman_55 Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 Thanks for the comments. The set up at the end is a Hyperstar attachment with a QHY8L CCD. Gives you F2 images like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweedledee Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 That is a very nice wide field image. It must be 3.5 degrees wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T A WOW Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Nice set up and nice pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfman_55 Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 I think the field of view is 3.3x2.1 degrees with the QHY8L. Not bad for an SCT. Just need to use it more. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
