ASTRO: Twisted Dance of the Doomed
After a 1.5 year hiatus and a full month from setup to first light results,
I am happy top post the first images from the newly-resurrected Stinger 450 Classical Cassegrain The mighty beast was disassembled in November 2008 and has been in storage (in pieces) at the ranch until a month ago. I set it up again one saturday about a month ago but was unable to use it that night due to winds making the guiding impossible. Ditto the week afterwards. Then I went to Asia for a two week biz trip. This weekend I managed to use it with calm winds, dark skies and a new moon with OK seeing (~2.8-3") I managed to get 10 decent exposures of 5 minutes before the winds picked up making further use impossible. It was good to get a chance to use it again and get it shaken down etc. here is the first light image in its new location: The Twisted Dance of the Doomed http://www.narrowbandimaging.com/ngc...l4022_page.htm this is an encouraging first step.... Now for good seeing, dark skies and no wind! |
