More tests with the zwo asi 290mm and CaK imaging

Post by Dennis »

Hi there,

today i did some more testing with the zwo asi 290mm and CaK imaging. This time i explored a new imaging train that actually worked nicely with it. TV 3x barlow, antlia 393nm, lunt CaK filter, TS 2 lens 1,25" reducer and some spacers, imx290mm.
The seeing wasnt up for the magnification, but the test images showed me that this has a lot of potential. Im starting to like this camera, its a light generator.
Excited to try this with better seeing the next days.

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