Some proms on 23-08-2016

Post by PDB »

Hello,

a very hot day today. Spend many hours catching videos. Trying to figure out the best setting of the quark. Due to very unstable seeing, a shifting in focus (reshot a few videos) no real valuable comparison could be made.

Alse tried a few proms, and could produce 1 reasonable image.

Nice result, Paul. Sounds like a frustrating day.

Thanks.
Not really frustrating. Useful exercise.

just for the record, this was the best i could do today of AR2579 with the 80mm+quark. Lots of postprocessing also to remove newton rings.

Very nice proms, I struggled with my Quark as the exposure was always too low.
The second image is great although slightly off band, I think a tweek of the tuning dial will help improve things

Thank you Alexandra. Tuning was wat I was trying to figure out but changing turbulence and focus shift (need a motorized focusser on that scope so that I can focus from my PC inside ...) If I decipher my notes correctly Quark setting for that one was 0.

Paul
