Pages: 1 pjr200 Post Laureate Reged: 08/29/07 Loc: Staffordshire, UK Ha shots from 1/1/10 and 2/1/10       #3535727 - 01/02/10 07:19 PM Attachment (109 downloads) Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Happy new year everyone. I recently brought a new etalon for my 150mm system in the hope that it might have a more uniform sweet spot and a lower band pass. In its more natural 40mm state the sweet spot appeared more managable and the band pass may have been slight lower than my other etalon. Image recorded using a DMK camera and a 2x barlow lense placed on the end of the nose piece- 10:40UT (01/01/10). After fitting it to the 150mm system (stepped down to 120mm) the band pass still seemed slightly lower although it took me a while to tune for uniform brightness (although there was a lot of haze and poor transparancy). The second image was again recorded using a DMK camera and 2x barlow lense on the end of the nose piece- 11:22UT 02/01/01.

The new system looks to be working fine and better seeing will probably help - great pics Mark Post Extras:       molniyabeer Confused and Asleep Reged: 01/08/05 Loc: Albuquerque, NM Re: Ha shots from 1/1/10 and 2/1/10 [Re: Sol]       #3535938 - 01/02/10 09:19 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Nice work.
