First Impressions of CaK PST

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Nice review Jim, and congratulations on the new acquisition... wink
Indeed, even with the Ha PST, I found that if you are not protected from the surrounding glare of the day/Sun, it is hard to see much detail at all... so yes, being "hooded" is almost a necessity.


Clear skies, and Happy Holidays! 8)

Web Collimation Using Artificial Star

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Steve, was your scope allowed the "required" time to cool down?
That turbulence could be due to heat plumes inside the scope, or maybe due to heat waves coming up from the ground in between you & your artificial star...


Good luck with your Collimation Adventure, and Happy Holidays! 8)
