Finished processing more of my images from the last week at ARGO. I
have arrived at the conclusion that there is no escaping the need for
lots and lots of exposure at f/8. Some of the newer images are
composites of 6-8 10 minute exposures, and they could have used lots
more. Just have to learn more patience.
You can tell that I really enjoy the fields of galaxies, but tonight I
plan on trying the barlow trick, which will make my 4" f/8 Tak about
f/20 (2.5X barlow). Hope the mount is up to the task.
I also took the mount apart and cleaned and regreased the bearings, as
suggested by nearly every Losmandy owner I have heard from. I'll
report results soonly.
