DayStar Quark - refractor
DayStar Quark - refractor
I bought DayStar Quark. I have a telescope and 1000mm F6,7 focal length is too large. What should be the focal length?
image too large, lack of focus image

Hi renims
maybe a focal reducer is helping, Your are currently working with 4,2 m that is heavy

Hi Renims
I would go with a 0,6 to 0,5 reducer 1 1/4 "

I cut in half the focal length ?? I 4200cm and 2100cm half come?

Hi Renims
yes, just try it. You may have to search for the right distance from the nose to get the optimum

Re: DayStar Quark - refractor
Hi there. what i was meaning was the quark operates at such long focal lengths the seeing conditions only allow it to work to its full potential quite infrequently.

So I want a reduction of 0.5. Then about 2 meters

Re: DayStar Quark - refractor
So better focal length of about 2 m and 4.1 MP Camera Grasshopper3 NIR USB 3.0. plus DayStar Quark plus APO 102mm / 714mm F7??marktownley wrote:That would be better, yes.
It will be good ?

Re: DayStar Quark - refractor
Because the telescop focal length of 1000mm is too much? Plus Quark is 4300mm. Too much is not it?swisswalter wrote:Hi Renims

Hi Renim
your APO 102/714 gives around 2,9 m FL. That is just manageabel

Re: DayStar Quark - refractor
I do not have APO 102/714 gives around 2.9 m but che buy and do not know how to DayStar Quark. I have Omegon 1000/150 F6, 7, and probably is too large.swisswalter wrote:Hi Renim

Re: DayStar Quark - refractor
Renims wants to say that he is looking for best solution for his Quark filter. To have good focal lenght and still good aperture for imaging.
In my opinion 102/714mm or 90/630mm are good compromise .

Re: DayStar Quark - refractor
Hi Pawel
I totally agree. Do not exceed 700 mm . 714 / 630 is o.k.

Re: DayStar Quark - refractor
Renims,
I just got the Quark (Chromosphere) and this is my first Ha solar viewing device. I just wanted to show what first light images would look like running with the recommended scope parameters. I was using a 80mm F7.5 at 600mm . The net figures are F32.25 at 2580mm.
The pictures (single frame captures) attached are poor, I'm new to Ha. Camera is a QHY5L-II mono with a .5x Antares FR

@ Donboy- Good work, things will improve as you get more experience with the Quark. Welcome!
@ Renims - Excellent work! Thats the way it should look!

Walter and Joe,
Thank you for your comments and encouragement. But I'm really questioning the purchase of the Quark.
