Re: Guide scope (cross post)
Hi Gary, Yes, I can run 5-10 minute sub exposures without guiding but a lot more losses than with guiding. I've run hundreds of 5,10 and 15 minute sub exposures and even many Ha filtered 20-30

Re: New 11" EdgeHD
This is an update to my original issue/post of a brand new C11 EdgeHD giving unacceptable star trails, with under 5min exposures, using a piggyback guide scope. As is to be expected, Celestron

Re: Guide scope (cross post)
Bob I don't know but just about any decent mount with a good polar alignment could take an unguided sub without guiding. So the question is did you turn off your guide scope camera and take a sub of

Re: Guide scope (cross post)
Absolutely you should be able to use a piggy back guide scope for 5min exposures. You should be able to do so at f11 too. The last paragraph on page 13 of their white paper offers their 80mm

Guide scope (cross post)
For those of you who have doubts about guide scopes for imaging I've uploaded some images taken using a C14 at f5.5, a 105mm guide scope and a SBIG ST8 all mounted on an AP 1200 mount. The FWHM of

Interesting, and rough. Not only don't you have the greatest weather there either, but then it gets pricy too. I?found something out today that maybe is not commonly known? or?remembered.I got it

Re: New 11" EdgeHD
Hi Stan, I took those readings from CCD Inspector and mistakenly read from a finished .tiff file. Most of my subs are under 2 and about 10% can be as much as 3.5 in poor seeing. Bob.

Re: New 11" EdgeHD
Hi Keith, Sorry I was thinking of the C14 price, the C11 EdgeHD is 4,450 GBP here (6,343 USD), still twice what someone would pay in USA (3399 USD). Yes 20 per cent VAT sales tax here does make it

Re: New 11" EdgeHD
" LRGB image of M1 that has a FWHM value of 2.91 and the LUM sub exposures averaged 1.63" That doesn't make sense. LRGB takes all resolution from the Lum and only uses RGB to colorize that Lum.

" is it possible ... to get Sirius and the pup?" Haven't tried and can't really say. The problem with that goal is seeing and OTA light scatter. So a very clean OTA under good seeing ought to be

Re: New 11" EdgeHD
Hi Keith, I use an Optec F5 reducer made for C14s using a ST8XME so there is almost no corner problems. My mounting rings for the guide scope are attached by a Losmandy D plate at both ends of the

Hi Stan, Recently I took a LRGB image of M1 that has a FWHM value of 2.91 and the LUM sub exposures averaged 1.63. I have many other LRGB images ranging from 2.71 to 4.12 FWHM. Bob Sent from Mail for
