B33 with Atik 383L+ OSCPosted By John Love |
Yet another image of B33. 
I took this at Fort Griffin SHS in Texas at the last new moon.
12 x 10 minutes
Atik 383L+ OSC with a Baader UV-IR filter
Orion 110ED, CI-700 mount guided with a 80mm f4, SSAG and PHD
Captured and processed with AstroArt 4
This was the first night out with this setup. I am having fun with the OSC camera.

Re: Coulter Dall-kirkham 6" specs questionPosted By John Love |
I used to have a set of Coulter 6" optics but mine were classical cassegrain if I remember correctly. I have some old Coulter documentation so I will take a look to see if I can come up with the information.

Okie-TexPosted By John Love |
T minus 37 days and counting.
I hope this weather pattern breaks before Okie-Tex because it is making for lots of clouds in the Kenton area. The locals have been talking about how dry is which is not a bad thing...astronomically speaking. So far 2011 has been a frustrating year with clouds and 100°+ days.

Mounts
Re: Any decent mounts for around 1000 dollarsPosted By John Love |
"Shoulda" kept the CI-700.
Sure...It is heavy but there aren't many mounts that beefy for under a grand. When it comes to stability there is no substitute for mass.
My 5" Mak is as stable as can be on the CI-700. It is also a great imaging platform too.
