Reflection
Right, I have now got rid of most of the reflections in my Lunt 50. But I am still left with this big one! Is this coming from the first ERF (red filter)? Will tilting it even more get rid of it? I assume tilting it too much would be bad as well?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Clear sunny skies!

Re: Reflection
Yes they do! This post might be better off in the mod section?

Re: Reflection
Try tilting the ERF and see what happens.
Does it move when you rotate the blocking filter?

Re: Reflection
Well it is not the ERF! It's somewhere in the blocking filter. Weird

Have you got another blocker you can try (or borrow to try?)

Re: Reflection
No, not full frame. Taken with my QHY183M (1" sensor). I usually use my ASI178mm, but it died the other night
No, I don't have another BF. But I will try reseating it.

Center exactly the Sun and see if the Ghost is still there.

Re: Reflection
Yes, it is there with the 178 as well, and it is centered in the middle.
I did not make it home in time to try today. Hopefully I will be able to run a quick test tomorrow

Re: Reflection
Reseating it seems to have done the trick! No idea how it has worked itself loose in the first place, but oh well
Thank you!

Have you got another blocker you can try (or borrow to try?)
What did you mean with reseating ?
