Re: Large D-ERF "tri-band"

Hi Ronnie. Why does it have to be tri-band? CaK i'm presuming? You're going to get better results in CaK with your 6" APM than you ever will with a C9... Just my 2 cents... Many thanks for your 2 cents Mark :). I agreed with you about Cak! I´m thinking to buy a tri-band to use in both telescop...

Large D-ERF "tri-band"

Hello friends.

I would like to buy a large DERF ("tri-band") for a C9,25 Edge. Do you know some vendor or company to provide this size of D-ERF?

@Magnus.
For these pictures I've used a Basler acA1920-155 Camera. It´s able to capture a single whole disc for both telescopes. But, I use a 2x barlow with Lunt to generate a two panels mosaic. Normally I work with 1500 frames per video and no more than 20s ;) .
