Quark + PST Stage II Double Stack

Post by Nik »

I ventured myself into the Quark + PST ethalon double stacking

My Quark sample is pretty uniform across the field with good contrast and I have obtained nice results. However, the bandpass is probably not super narrow since I can see photosphere granulation leakage on my images.

I still have to optimize the adapters for the PST ethalon ( right now on one side it's attached to the optical train with electrical tape), but I managed to put together a comparison Quark vs Quark+PST.

The document is quite large and can be downloaded from here:

Not easy to tune the PST Ethalon and I probably need an ADC to further remove Newton rings (the camera is tilted to the max), but I must say I am impressed with he results.

Comments welcome

Nice result.


I do not look at the sky with the eyes of an astronomer, but of a person looking for the beauty of nature.
