astral marten trying to figure out if I could use reducer on a mak

the answer is probably no

#

maksutov reducers dont exist

#

and standard 0.5x reducers suck

420mm, 2.9um

astral marten Nov 26, 2022, 12:05 AM

#

can't find any good 4.5" newts

#

thought about the 4se ota

obsidian vortex Nov 26, 2022, 12:06 AM

#

its all just so slow

#

plus such a high focal length

#

your measly tiny little tracker cant handle it

astral marten Nov 26, 2022, 12:07 AM

#

yep

#

i only need about 600mm anyways

#

ideas?

#

also im processing your stuff while we talk about this just so you know

obsidian vortex Nov 26, 2022, 12:56 AM

#

astral marten ideas?

600mm is tough

#

Fracs usually can give you that focal length

#

But the cheap ones mean hefty CA

#

What mount are you using

astral marten Nov 26, 2022, 1:03 AM

#

obsidian vortex What mount are you using

skyguider pro, trying to get a junky laptop so I can get into guiding

#

my windows vista is garbage and can't support anything

#

cant even run an internet browser on it

#

wanted to get my brother's old one but its shattered to pieces

#

could do it with a mobile device but would need wireless connection and im not paying for an asi air

obsidian vortex 600mm is tough

Running my SWSA 2i (guided) at 420mm right now with 3 minute subs. Gonna try to do some things with my Canon M50 which would apply the 1.6 crop factor so that makes 672mm.
Not gonna mess around with that tonight, but I (hopefully) will somewhere in the next couple of weeks.

I know I'm late, but i'm kinda proud of myself.

obsidian vortex Dec 23, 2022, 10:58 PM

#

Nice, have you tried MMT to try to remove the high gain noise?

abstract cradle Dec 23, 2022, 11:13 PM

#

No, I'll try.

#

Much better

#

nice data @obsidian vortex

#

my cigar doesn't look great but it was just a quick process

eager coral Dec 24, 2022, 3:52 PM

#

Here's my attempt @obsidian vortex

obsidian vortex Dec 24, 2022, 3:52 PM

#

eager coral Here's my attempt <@318414570161045505>

Very nice colours

#

Im guessing you’re using pix

#

Maskedstretch is so nice for galaxies

eager coral Dec 24, 2022, 3:53 PM

#

Forgot to SCNR, this is better

#

Yes I use PI, but I've compared many stretches and 99% of the time use Ez Soft Stretch

obsidian vortex Dec 24, 2022, 3:54 PM

#

Ah interesting

#

Im stuck with PS so I have horrible stretches for galaxies

#

Very nice process though
