25/10/22 Regio 13131 - 13126

Post by MAURITS »

Today more clouds than anything else...

A few days ago I wanted to compare a "reducer" and the "tele-compressor", but the weather conditions prevented this from happening together.

As mentioned in the previous post I had too much tilt in the tilter with bad focus on the sides.

So today just after the eclipse a new try to compare ... same settings ...

I believe the results are very close, I don't see much difference, maybe you can see something more, let me know please what you prefer.

Franco, it's the same setup but on my tilter I have less tilt as before.
With less tilt the image is a lot more uniform and I believe more sharp on the corners and sides, at least what I see.

Yes Warren really better on the sides.
I would like to evaluate the results between the use of the reducer and the tele- compressor.

Thanks Mark, I came to the conclusion that the Daystar 0.5x reducer has more even images

Thanks Aaron for the feedback and the attention to search details.
I have the same conclusion, with the reducer the area around the limb is sharper and the center is more even.
