June 18, 2020 Prom with LS80

Post by Astrophil »

Hi All,

A nice prom lured me out to image today. This time with the Lunt 80, a 5x Powermate, and an old PGR Grasshopper. This camera has a relatively small (3.45 micron) pixel pitch and was to be used with a PST or native focal length Lunt, not with the 5x Powermate. I used it anyway, over sampling the images. I don't think I did the prom justice this time.

These came out great, Phil. They do not look oversampled at all.

Hi Phil, apart from "Caterpillars," "damp fireworks," hedges" yours fab images look a little like a mouse or rat ducking down to get through a hole !!

The images are excellent and show fine detail, thanks vm

Thanks everyone for the comments. Much appreciated.

It's funny how we see different shapes in proms. Usually animals but sometimes faces or groups of odd shaped people.

Would some one please send a little clear sky to Alexandra? Three weeks of clouds is too long.
