philjay Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 First chance tonight to have a play with the Mak and lunar. Conditions not great, theres a lot of atmospherics up there tonight creating swirling. Still I had to have a play and get used to how the scope and the IMGOH camera worked together. After awhile getting used to the focusing of the scope/cam combi this was about the best I could do with wobbly atmosphere Full frame at 640 x 480 on the IMGOH mono planetary camera 1900 frames from 3000 stacked in Registax Theres a few artefacts in there created by over sharpening in wavelets because I was trying to sharpen relatively poor raw image to get as sharp as possible. But it gives me an idea of the scope/camera capabilities. Im well chuffed with this scope. Visual was stunning especially with my binoviewers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbird Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Lovely detail, the 180 MAK and IMG0H should make a superb planetary / lunar imaging rig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulG Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Had a double take moment then, Phil the refractor aficionado with a Mak?. Looks a promising combination, a lot of detail in that Phil. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philjay Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 Thanks folks. Yeah Paul but the mak is closer to a refractor than the 8" newt it replaced. Also the eyepiece is in the place where eyepieces should be, not on the side of the tube so I am willing to forgive it for having a nasty mirror :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
