FSQ 106 ED Pictures and Preliminary Observations

Rob,
Thank you for your valuable review. Can you post a pic of the vignetting you are reporting? Also, how do you like the "Captain's wheel" focuser?
Thanks,
Ivan

TV 60

Posted By Ivan Ong

It's a tad too small to be much of a planetary scope wink But...I use Radians from 18mm up to 3mm with my TV60mm. My travel version consists of (a) 24mm TV WF (out of production) (b) 9mm Nagler (c) 4mm Radian. I've 2x Barlowed a 3mm Radian before- actually very decent image on Saturn and Jupiter. The Everbrite sky diagonal works very well.

My friend uses a Phillips ToUCam with Guidedog:

He shoots with a 9.25" at f/6.3. I was rather impressed by the accuracy.

Imaging software?

Posted By Ivan Ong

Probably the most suitable for DSLR will be ImagesPlus. A bit of a learning curve but there are tutorials. MaxIm is more suitable for CCD imaging. And Photoshop to chase it all up is always very good.

Good luck

A beauty. Wonderful processing! Some moons are harsh to look at but yours is nice indeed.
