Widefield Single Imaging Rig


Gina

4,593 views

This is based on the ZWO ASI1600MM-Cool CMOS astro camera and vintage film SLR camera lenses.  In particular the Asahi Pentax Takumar, Super Takumar and Super Multi-Coated Takumar lenses.  I plan to use this rig for LRGB and where I have only one lens of a particular focal length for NB imaging.  Between these is the ZWO EFWmini filter wheel.

Another sub.  Mount slewed eastwards to bring the Cygnus Loop into the frame (near the bottom).

Woke up in the early hours for a "call of nature" and decided to see what I could find.  The sky had cleared and there were plenty of stars.  After a bit of slewing I found Orion :)  Left it imaging and went back to bed.  I need to find out why the tracking didn't work before any more imaging!
