A cloudy day with a few gaps. In and out 3x.
P1060954 by Andrew Huskinson, on FlickrI have used nearly all my extension tubes up for this setup.
I was having trouble reaching back to focus.
Used 1.25" micro-focuser in Quark.
Put all my 1.25" extenders on 40mmPlossl with polariser.
Even then had to add a T2 extender after the diagonal to move the 3x VisionKing TE back. I am not sure how you determine the optimum position for a TE with respect to focal plane.
Good black background. Nice view of the tall prom. And the floater. One curly prom with a bright part. Various low fine proms.
Not much surface wise but reasonable details.
Bodged up both Quarks power plug issues with short right angle leads. Stabilant cleaner. Padded plugs with clear Cellotape. Tight PVC tape over to pull into contact. Fingers crossed.
Working at 3600mm fl same as the 90mm F6.7 at 6X.
Time to start sketching.
Found my SH Lunt 100mm D-erf in its home made plastic cell is a tight push fit in the Celestron 100mm F5 dew shield. Could have been made for it.
Cheers. Andrew.
