M33 LRGB

[Earl]

taken with my qsi 683 and reduced WO ZS71 I had real problems with the background at first, but finally got something workable, Blue bloat is there but not too bad.

Hey Early good effort but i think the flats need redoing.

what made you choose the WO71? the equinoxED80 is a fin instrument and can be reduce to f5.5 with the TVRF 2008 reducer and this covers dslr size sensors. i used when i had my AP set and there was no blue bloat with the equinox.

I didnt boher with any flats, which does not help either...

The 71 is not bad as a NB scope but not up to par for LRGB I feel, If I replace it  ill be looking for something sub F4.

I chose it mosty due to the F4.7 for a cheap price.

Can't say I love the optics here, Earl. Don't you still have a Tak?

I do Olly, its awaiting the mount, im just running the "temp winter obsy" at present, all been well the Tak will be installed and ready to rock this sunday, then its back to the good stuffs, However this ZS71 is going to be a dedicated NB scope ontop of the Tak l, which I think it will do quiet well (I Hope) if not, ill change it. I have a few configuration options coming together at present, Im just not sure the best way at present.

Dynamic, crisp, and I like this color rendering.
