Title: M13 Hercules Cluster
Post by: Fay on Jun 19, 2009, 12:24:23
This was 20x120, darks with Atik 314L mpcc,cls, Orion 200.

I added another spacer, between the filter wheel & mpcc, this time. I think it is a lot better. Although there seems to be rotation around. I must admit I did not make sure of the tightness of the focuser, also I had changed the position of the camera, so perhaps a bit loose.

The sky was very light, but I am still trying to get the correct settings & then I will be away.

getting there, are you remembering to check the collimation?
