SCT Images
8 Meade SCT with dual 6.3 reducer/correctors.
Initial images
Current spacing (Celestron SCT to T adapter direct to camera) - setup as a focal length of F3.61 (721mm focal length). With an ASI178mm and Neptune 178 color camera and 2.4um pixels these initial images have about a 0.6 by 0.4 degree field of view.
Later images
Omegon short SCT-T Adapter and 30mm spacers at F4.275. Cleaner images with diamond shapes. I intend to try collimating stars in the center with the double reducers in place.
Updated images use F3.6 (increased spacing by 5mm .. it's sensitive)
