P.Keller Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 During installation of a telescope in Greece I was able to make some test exposures with this telescope. We where lucky and the seeing, though the telescope is installed near sea level, reached 0.8" in 200s subs. Was also a great test of MLPT, all exposures where unguided. Since with this seeing, even 0.2" will show up as elongated, the MLPT on AltAz was really given a hard test but it worked well (after sorting out some final bugs) Sucess rate was around 90%, even up to 85 degree altitude. Rotator also worked well. But of course, the Canon 5D we used is still not comparible to a standard CCD as it has quite large readout noise. Very good for bright objects, but still a problem with dim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeCarey Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Very nice! How many subs for each object? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
