2022 Sept 5 - 2x Powermate on a Quark!!

Post by Simon2940 »

Seeing was so stable, i couldn't resist it! I got the 2x Powermate and added it to the chain. This is a 9 panel mosaic.

Nice shot!

Why double the magnifcation and then reduce the image size finally? - seems a strange way of getting the same result as not using the powermate in the first place...

Superb, Simon. Jaw droppingly good 👍

You must have had excellent seeing conditions to achieve this level of detail.

Hello Simon,

Very impressive imaging here! I wonder how the "seeing" was ? Were you on top of Mauna Kea in Hawaii doing this imaging?

I would also like to suggest a solution to the large file issue.

You could post a small or very small preview image, and the full size version, you can offer for forum viewers to view or download on a DROPBOX link. I think this is a possible solution.

Not all of us want to see 100 MB files of solar details !

:lol:

Don't get me wrong, I think it's a great image.

If you can link to a full size version it would be great.

If you're getting away with the seeing on a 6 inch scope using a Quark and then 2x multiplier your really could support and should consider using a larger scope ;)

Does that work? And yes, i could probably get away with a 230mm scope on certain days.
