Full disk 10/08/22 with Quark and a tweak

Post by LucaR »

As discussed here I lowered the diameter of my APO by adding a diaphragm in front, in order to increase the F/D of my setup and get better contrast (at the cost of less definition) with my Daystar Quark, while conserving the same scale to keep having the full disc in my sensor. It works quite well!
