Current "status report" for the ED80 / Lunt50 "Frankenscope" Project? :D

Switched to ImPPG for processing (as recommended!) & still twiddling:

Excellent results with the Frankenscope. Definitely try sharpening the full disk at a smaller radius 1-1.3 pixels, looks like you're sharpening at 3+ pixel radius. Too large a radius hides finer detail.

Here's my take from yesterday - same single stack scope, same camera. 1px 175 iterations

Thanks Mark! I will think on... I always LIKE the fellow "experimentalists"! :cool:

Still rather "making it up, as I go along" re. many of many setting. Human
nature to compare, so useful to receive positive critique and suggestions.
May well be back for more! I do commend FUN (n.b. safe) Frankenscopes! :D

Cheers, Macavity / Chris
