Downsizing Why and What

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Many, many reasons... and everyone it is gonna have their own...
I'd say, in my case, I've downsized the refractor (I do not own a reflector, but an SCT and a refractor) in the search for higher portability and wider fields of view... 8)

Orion M42 and Megrez 90

Alan, nice first! 8)
One recommendation... keep an eye on your histogram/processing, as it looks like you are clipping valuable data... (the transition between the background and your object is too agressive... IMHO)


Keep it up, and looking forward to your next shots! wink

APO vs. ACHRO

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Yes you will see it, specially if you point it at a very bright object, like The Moon or the planets...

Longer focal length ACHROS will show much lower color aberration than the shorter focal length ones... (like comparing an f/15 versus an f/5, the f/15 will show almost NO false color, while the f/5 will most likely show quite a bit of it)

APOs are designed to show NO false color...


Clear skies! 8)
