16Jul20 - CAK images with C11
I am glad to have windows of opportunity to record some videos using a C11 fitted with an ARIES D-ERF (with a 220mm mask) + Lunt B1200 CAK module + TV x2.5PM + Chroma CAK filter + ASI174.
The images could have been better if the seeing was better:
As usual, right click to see the images in full resolution.

These are gorgeous Alfred
Can you tell me the make and model of the 1.25" extension tube you use with the 2.5x Powermate?

Hi Alexandra,
I am using a Celestron barlow T-adapter - it was an old barlow, I removed the lens.

Re: 16Jul20 - CAK images with C11
Alfred, really good shots all of them.
I have to start doing something with my 10" Aries ERF and the 10" f/20 Maksutov.
Best regards,
Eric.

Thanks Alfred for those close-up shots and I must remember the re-use of a Barlow as the extension-tube - good idea..

Looks great Alfred. I like the processing you have done - it's not overcooked. Glad you have got it all working now.

Hi James,
Thanks for your compliment. I need to work on the post processing, the images can be better.

Re: 16Jul20 - CAK images with C11
Hi Rainer,
Thanks for your comments. I am practising with these pair of Chroma filters. I need to use a better extender to get a more stable setup. The current extender does not have a firm firm on the nose piece of the camera, resulting in the need to redo flats whenever the camera is shifted.

I have been trying with other extension tubes as well. Will share results when completed.

Glad you like the "light-touch" processing. I can definitely do better, still working on it.

Looking good there, Alfred.
Like I said before, your CaK images are getting better and better each time.

Re: 16Jul20 - CAK images with C11
Thanks Jochen.
Yep, I have to keep working on it. Image quality seems to vary with length of the extender. I need to do more tinkering to get the optimum configuration.

Re: 16Jul20 - CAK images with C11
Thanks Stuart. Yesterday's weather forecast was poor but I was very glad to get that bunch of images. Today's weather forecast was quite similar to yesterday's but I couldn't even get the C11 to hold its focus. Hope to have some windows for imaging this weekend. Wishing all great seeing too

Re: 16Jul20 - CAK images with C11
Thanks Derek,
The previous set of images were mostly made with 1000 frames or 800 frames stacking. Here is one from stacking 150 frames. Looks decent for 150 fames:
Cheers.

Super images, especially like the resolution you have obtained with 150 frames.
