Magma Wall

[wintry geode]

The Cygnus Wall, reprocessed utilizing a new palette. I used Synthetic Sii for a false SHO image. With this SHO, I was able to use Sketchpad's Magma Palette. I like how it turned out, a new vision for the target.

original palette

Two completely different visions

I think the original is more pleasant on the eyes while magma gives it a sharper look

[loud light]

Really nice colors

[fierce rivet]

Excellent

Love this different coloration, it does remind me of the lava floes pouring down the slopes of an island volcano, eventually dripping into the ocean.

Gives me hope for my uncooled Uranus C

Phew, I thought you were gonna turn into a VC mod with the roll change lol

[wintry geode]

Huh?

[mental python]

gorgeous

[ornate token]

Not to be rude, but there’s a pretty big financial disproportion in the setup, like the filter is more expensive than the telescope… but sick image either way. I guess for a „budget” setup it’s really nice.

[wintry geode]

Don't question my financial decisions

You see, I have no need for a new telescope. Reflectors are good bang for your buck. It doesn't matter what I pair it with, it'll do well

[cursive viper]

what cc do u use?

[wintry geode]

MPCC MK3, do not recommend

[cursive viper]

why?

[wintry geode]

Slight CA and also spherical aberration

[cursive viper]

ah damn

[finite rose]

I'm getting it included in a bundle (heq5 + gso200/800). Is it good enough or should I replace it?

[wintry geode]

Replace it immediately

Its acceptable at f/5

Its horrible at f/4

[finite rose]

hm

any raccomandations?

[wintry geode]

For the budget side Sharpstar 0.95x is fine

[finite rose]

yeah I know my spelling of reasasdsadcomeadfndations is terrible

[wintry geode]

Swap out those As for Es

And you're good

Recommendation

[finite rose]

I did write it like that at first

but discord signed it as wrong

I got tricked

[finite rose]

btw thanks for the advice

[finite rose]

I may have to wait a couple of months though. I'll be left with 0$ after I buy the scope lol

[wintry geode]

That's what credit card debt is for
